Spoken like somebody who has money. Do you have any idea how much pain and suffering a person can endure due to having no money? I don't think it's your place to say that person's life is worth living.

Growing up in total poverty, raised by a single mother who fought cancers and died twice on operating tables let me tell you one thing.

Money is nothing. Poverty won't make you unhappy.

Humans are good at finding new baselines. Poverty will simply become your new normal and the little things of life will still bring you joy. Seeing a loved one will still make you a smile. Life is worth living even without any ressources.

> Money is nothing. Poverty won't make you unhappy.

I'm sure the millions of people living in poverty, dying of treatable diseases and starving to death right now are ecstatic about it. Or are we just pretending those people don't exist?

I'm glad you and your family managed to beat the odds, but this is demonstrably false on a statistical level.

My brother killed himself recently. So yes I do.

And nowhere at all did I suggest "a person's life is not worth the money."

You're attacking a strawman and being deliberately annoying.
