In nations that have already gained greate wealth,any additional economic prosperity would not make people more satisfied.Do you agree or disagree?

Nowadays,it seems that
wealth
is inextricably linked to some senses like happiness and contentment, but it is said that in
societies
that are rich and have a strong economy, no more
wealth
can promote public satisfaction.I partially agree with
this
idea.
First
of all,food,shelter, and clean water are vital to humans' needs to be content,so more
wealth
means more convenient access to them in general.
Moreover
,rich
countries
are associated with high-quality educational systems.It means society provides
people
with an opportunity to receive well-rounded tertiary education without scrambling with high tuition.
This
leads to specialised
people
in different fields who can offer high-quality services to the public and promote general contentment.Apart from that,in
countries
which stand at the top economically,more investment in developing and upgrading roads and public transit can be seen.The existence of safer roads will decrease road fatalities and engaging high-tech vehicles in the public transport sector help
people
to save their time and energy ,and make them more content.
On the other hand
,it can be seen that the wealthiest
countries
are not necessarily the most satisfied.
In particular
,the USA as a wealthy county is not even near the poorer ones like Nigeria which is ranked 20th.In the majority of rich nations,
wealth
and facilities are not distributed evenly.It causes different social classes to be created and leads to a
wealth
gap in
societies
.In
such
,conditions a huge amount of depression and stress is imposed on
people
and makes them dissatisfied when they see all good facilities belong to affluent classes.
In addition
,consumerism is propagated in these regions and
people
start keeping up with others.
This
behaviour will keep
people
away from moral values and destroy
societies
as the days go by. In summary,it is not easy for
people
to live in a region with a vulnerable economic climate,but it does not mean that the wealthiest
countries
have the most satisfied
people
.Individuals would be happy and content in
societies
where facilities and
wealth
are distributed justly even if they are not the richest ones.
