Discussion Financial poll

I'm curious how much everyone thinks (or knows) their situation would improve if financial struggles were out of the equation.

I think at first it would do wonders. No suicidal thoughts, no hassle, barely any sign of depression. I'd be so happy to do the things I always wished I could, partaking in all my hobbies, providing for my loved ones, etc. But ultimately, depression would inevitably rear its head again, and then, who knows. Shit, maybe I could pay for the world's top therapist.

I would be completely free to do whatever I wanted to for a little while, which would be great, and then I could kill myself on a high note. So it would significantly improve my mental state and yet I would happily kill myself anyway after a while after having enjoyed life to the fullest first

Briefly I'd feel ecstatic. Finally I could have a house and get a good night's sleep without having to deal with loud apartment neighbors. Then eventually, the emptiness would settle back in as I realized that my life lacks any real pleasure or purpose. I have $10 million, but what would there be to do with it? I don't have desires beyond a house. What do you when you feel no desire and suffer from anhedonia?

I can buy all the video games to my heart's content, but they still won't change the fact that I'm a masochist :/

Mental state is often tied to physical state. Work is unbearbly stressful for people with serious diseases. My body could heal if I weren't constantly in a financial fight/flight mode. How effective can you be at life when you're one minor problem away from being homeless and barely able to get out of bed. Rather, rinse, repeat for years.

it would not solve my biggest problem, but it would solve some of the others.
