I think this really speaks to, "It's not what you have, it's who you have." You could have millions of dollars and the biggest house in the neighbourhood, but you won't be happy with any of that if you have a partner who is terrible and mean to you.

Happiness comes from finding joy from what you already have rather than longing for what you don't.

This is what I’m afraid of. I have a plan for getting rich but I don’t have much of a plan for getting over the loneliness I feel.

Actually I’m afraid to get rich because I feel like that will be the end of any opportunity to genuinely bond with people.

Then don't get rich :)
