Inheritance vs. Achievement: The Relationship between Wealth and Happiness

You get the stats that in general,
millionaires who just inherit the money from Mommy and daddy
don’t have as much enjoyment of it.
Is that true? The data does say that, yeah.
It’s if you earn it, yeah,
you get that sense of accomplishment.
I found something slightly conflicting
because there’s some quite interesting studies
from Germany and Sweden
that did a long term analysis of people over a period of years,
and people who won money on the lottery did get happier
and that happiness did last
and the more money they won, the happier they got.
