Work hard, make money, be happy. The problem now is that with media, everyone knows what everyone else has.

Now there are jealous people, haters etc... People see more of it an want it and are not content with what they have. Even if it is enough to have a good life.
Millions don't have enough to have a good life, and that's because our system is fucked up. The decent paying jobs that once would have sustained them are gone in the name of bigger corporate profits, and our tax laws are extremely complicated so that the richest people in the world can write off their yachts.
