I don't agree with this statement. First of all, although rich families can afford anything they want, if the family members lack connection, they may still face emotional challenges. On the other hand, a poor family that is pleased with what they have and has a strong bond with the family members can still live happily. Furthermore, most rich families usually spend most of their time working and have little time with the family, so they cannot enjoy happiness to the fullest. But poor families often spend a lot of time together and can still stay happy.
