People say that and it seems true to some extent, but financially, people rarely fall into the categories of &quot;limitless wealth&quot; and &quot;not a penny to my name.&quot; It&#x27;s almost like a false dichotomy is being implied by this statement, claiming that if you don&#x27;t prioritize money, you will be left penniless and ruined. That simply isn&#x27;t true. There are a wide range of conditions between wealth and poverty and studies like this show that you do not need to be closer to rich than poor to be happy.
