Sounds more like something rich people have passed down to get poor people to accept being poor not matter how hard they work a lot of the time tbh.
I mean I know people working 60-80 hours a week that really aren't all that well off. There's not much that can be done, even if they wanted to work more there's not enough jobs as it is, and at a certain point it's not worth it because what would you do with it? It's not going to help make your life easier when you're making your life harder to get it.
But about the main post....
With money you have security, if you're sitting on savings and something happens you can do something about it. If you're unhappy with your job because they're treating you wrong, you don't have to take it if you have money. (I've seen quite a few people legit being taken advantage of and not really even being treated like real living people by workplaces because they know people need the job and are desperate.)
Money can buy you time. It can give you the ability to grab people you care about things because you thought of them. It can help you have more time for the people you want to connect with, and purchase things you can use to enrich bonding. People unfortunately overall treat you better if you have money, and look down on you if you're poor like you're lazy and stupid even if you're busting your @$$. A lot of people look at poor people as lesser.
You can go to the doctor without feeling like you're going to be in serious debt over it. You don't have all the anxiety attached to having to budget so many things. Unfortunately, money pretty much can fix most of your problems unless you basically refuse to do anything about them. (And even then most of the time people are willing to look the other way if you have enough.) You can get medication/therapy (better therapy in fact, you can shop around and look for therapy that fits you best and not have to worry about a price tag with money) for being depressed, you can pick up hobbies and activities and put them down if they don't fit. There's the heightened risk of people trying to deceive you I suppose, but anyone can be conned for any reason. Even just for the 'funsies' of it because the world has not so very nice people in it.
