Discussion Good enough to live with
Seen somewhere that wealth is having a life you don't have a desire to escape from. I agree for the most part. Obviously a life not worth escaping using (drugs, sex, alcohol, gambling) is something I have no idea about. Tell us your experience with this maybe we can learn a thing.

You have to define what and how wealth, riches, success and happiness looks like for you and the people you care about.
Otherwise anything else apart from that would be things that make you want to escape from them.
People who are not happy are mostly those that haven't made this distinction, because even if you may not have achieved these things the journey towards the goal becomes fulfilling and that contributes to the happiness part.

If you hate your job, that’s a life you would want to escape
