The more money you have, the bigger your bills and the more money you paying and needing even more and saying you just need a bit more to really be happy.

Money doesnt buy happiness but it definitely makes things a lot easier if you are indeed dealing with real depression. ie. You have the financial security where you can then focus on the depression and not have the stress of bills and living expensese piled up on top of it

Its interesting though because like you said, as people earn more, their tastes become more expensive and their bills get bigger and bigger. I definitely fell into that trap at one point. and i see it all around me, hell even during Christmas I was talking to my cousins about a restaurant they went to where they ended up paying $400 for their meal.

I see it with girls, they always looked perfectly fine but then when they get their first "real job" they start getting into makeup, spending $$$$ on expensive makeup products, get their hair and nails did regularly. The more they earn, the more they spend on the stuff.

I see it with guys, when they get their first 'real job' they all of a sudden feel that they have to buy a new car. Most of they time they also feel the need to be driving a euro car and feel above Japanese cars or used cars.

I think its a subconscious mentality where you have to justify to yourself and maybe even others why you are working all those hours or why you are earning all that money.
