Well some people who are rich are completely miserable because they are married to their stressful job, others are rich doing what they like, and have plenty of time to do what they wish.

If I were rich, I'd go to public places and meet new people and not have to worry about money at all. I'd do that if I were poor, but I would be thinking about my money. The different would be, "I want to go see a movie.. can I afford that this week.. Better go next week.." compared to "I want to go see a movie and I'll invite someone" with no reference to having a budget. Then somewhere in the middle would be "Okay but I've spent a bit much recently so I'll take it easy for the next week". Just as an example.

Then you can be really happy with a lot of money, spend it all, then you'll be really unhappy because you don't have anymore and you are used to just being able to do what you want. So you'd still need to be responsible with your money even if you were rich.
