The site of million dollar houses, snobby empty people will increase your depression, even if you yourself are rich. It doesn't matter.
This is one of the reasons why the West is so depressing. They think richness makes people happy. It doesn't. I like puddles, dirt, commotion and disorder. It cures my soul.
You don't always have to be clean, orderly in EVERYTHING!
Thats why people like Marylin Monroe, Robin Williams, Michael Jackson and Elvis commit suicide. If they went to a place like Russia and started a farm, they would've met people who make them happy.
Meh, even going to a places like Canada, Iowa or Wisconsin would've helped them.
Living around cold calculating rich assholes will make you DEPRESSED.

Money can buy happiness but it doesn’t necessarily do so. It only works for people who can actually be made happy in the first place.
Some people will be miserable fuckers regardless.
And some people use their money to buy a lifestyle that eventually makes them very unhappy, most often because it isolates them and humans are generally a social animal.
I say this as someone who is generally happy and who is definitely happy with my money situation. I know a lot of people as rich or richer than me who are not happy, though. Simply because they do not share the reasons for being unhappy that poor people have doesn’t mean they are happy. They are just unhappy for reasons other than shortage of money.
