That's debatable. In the US today, poor people are definitely less healthy than well-off people, due to our dysfunctional health care system and other inequalities. And it's a lot easier to find happiness if you don't have the daily stress of trying to survive on not enough money.


Money buys better healthcare, that is medical treatment when in poor health. But it does not buy better health in general.
