That type of thought looks good as a social media post, but in real life it's flawed. It is extremely hard to lose it all at any point if you are rich, that's a low-class and middle-class risk. There are a gazillion holes in laws and society (some made by the rich themselves) that allows the rich to be "untouchable by monetary misfortune". Also, money does not buy happiness. But it makes your life better, as it unlocks access to a lot of services and even more ways to get even more money, which brings happiness. That's the way the world works under Capitalism: everything is locked behind a price, even essential services. And everything prioritizes profit, so everything runs on more money than needed to run, to turn up profit. You got no money to pay the price for services, you got nothing. No internet, no transport and no phone/computer already locks you outside of society: you can't research your rights, you become "an island" in political and religious influence, you can't be informed of the situation around you, you can't go after work, you can't get training/study for work, you can't communicate with people more than a mile away.. etc. You basically become a vegetable that will wither away on the next Winter if you can't pay these 3 basic services alone, and we aren't even counting food and having a home or not. Our world is not a socialist utopia where basic human rights are guaranteed. Go get money! That's what you were born to do, that's the only way to stay alive, take advantage of everything and everyone to get off the mud, welcome to the machine.

There's a reason winners of chance games like the lottery always inevitably go broke within the year - or the first few years, if they're lucky. They quit their jobs, and immediately go on a crazy spending spree as if the money is neverending. Afterwards their whole lives are in shambles because they've alienated their loved ones on top of the financial idiocy.

I somewhat disagree with your theory. Virtually every evil person out there is unhappy. Therefore, evil is caused by unhappiness. Unhappiness is caused by unrestricted desire. The rich are often evil because they do not restrict there desire. They always want more. Now, of course it is okay to dream. But it is not okay to put no restrictions on your dream. You need restrictions so that you don't get in the way of someone else's dreams. That is why greed exists. Those types of people were already evil. They didn't restrict their dreams. Their wealth just kept on growing and growing, since their was nothing restricting them. It is okay to be extremely wealthy, as long as you know when its time to stop.

In Brazil this law, to separate academics from ordinary criminals is a successful measure to prevent organized crime. The idea being, if you add a smart guy to low brow criminals he would conspirate with his cellmates to orient them on how to make it big once they get out. It also means rich people who are much more likely to have a degree never get to experience a real cell, so the people who introduced the law had most definitely secondary incentives.

And you wonder where the saying. The bigger you are the harder you fall, come from. Maybe it's smarter for a billionaire not to be a a******.

It's better not to be incredibly wealthy and loaded with power, but just be incredibly secure. I'm not a wealthy man, but if I ever did come into wolf for whatever reason. That wealth would belong to the community not individual like myself. I just want to have a secure future and not be a complete a******. I'd rather be a Solomon in my world, then a King Midas.
