    The US is far richer than a lot of the higher ranked countries. Furthermore, it’s the best performing country out of the pandemic. Can’t be the reason for the drop

      I’m glad you have insight into my level of happiness and its cause. I’ll correct myself the next time I think about how inflation is keeping me down. WRONG ANSWER, WALLET!

      Edit: To be more clear, I’m reasonably well-off and still terrified that I’ll die in a financial crisis. Our system sucks.

      A tiny percentage of Americans hold the majority of that wealth. The average American is not wealthy.
