Reply to comment by Bama_Peach in People from the poorest backgrounds are far more likely to develop a mental disorder later in life than those from wealthier beginnings. More than half of people with a low educational attainment at age 30 will have a diagnosis of a mental disorder 22 years later by Wagamaga

I went from poor to middle class and, while I was less stressed by things, I was somewhat disappointed to discover that my default mood was still just a dull melancholy.

There was some kind of study done that suggests that people’s base-line happiness stays about the same. Got a new job that you love and are excited about? Yeah you might be happy for awhile but your general happiness levels out. I could be totally butchering this but it was an interesting read. Too lazy to Google and link but yeah.
