"there is no magical fix that will make everything better in your life" — I respectfully disagree. Marry the perfect girl and then make a bunch of money, and life steps into easy mode. Yes you still have problems but quite honestly everything is better with love and financial security.
That's true but I guess what I was trying to say is there's no one thing that will fix all your prooblems. I found the girl before I found money, and life was hard for a bunch of reasons. I found the girl and I found money but I had chronic back pain. My depression and anxiety didn't go away. In some ways it got worse (how dare I be unhappy when I have so much? what is wrong with me? am I broken? etc"
Can't disagree that things are better with love and financial security, but *everything* isn't better, and I don't think it's an end state of being where you just have love and financial security and then automatically have it forever.
The part about it not being a magical fix too basically was me saying that it takes work to get these things, to keep them, and even then, you'll have to work to maintain happiness and contentment dealing with whatever other issues you have in life. But I do agree that some problems are better than other problems, and for the most part, the problems you face while having love and financial security are "better" problems to face than the ones when you have neither of those things.
Appreciate the comment! I can talk about philosophy all day long, and it's fun because there are no wrong answers really, just each individual's perspective.

That's fair. Keeping the girl requires work. If she wants kids, there's more problems. Making money is easy compared to all that.
