The thing is, if you're of this "I don't have enough" sort of type (or one of its numerous manifestations) it doesn't matter how much you have. You, thus, by your own words, never have enough of anything and your life is much worse off because of that.

If you're poor, you have worries most people can understand but your worries are real to you. If you're rich, you have worries that seem outrageous to most people and your worries are (still) real to you. Hence, you're not any better off in reality, even if you don't have to starve.

Of course you're not any better off because you still think you don't have enough.

And the funny thing is that it you don't have to become rich to have enough. When you're happy with first what you have, then everything is restored to back to 'okay'. And you can still try to get more but you don't have to try to get more.
