Not him but I'm a wizard making pretty good money and with a lot of savings and investments. There was a time when I didn't have much money, so I've been on the other side too.
Thing is, money gives me happiness mostly through safety. I know that almost anything that happens to me, I am covered, either through my money or my parents' money. I can also buy all sorts of things that make me happy. High-end computer hardware, tech devices, fancy booze and so on. I don't care about inflation, food prices, gas prices and other things that normies constantly bitch about. I have no debt. I can take weeks off work and travel wherever I might want to. And going back to safety, I know my future is likely to be comfy. I'll have an inheritance, I'll have my savings, I might just retire before 50.
Honestly, with these benefits...the fact that I don't have a gf doesn't matter much. I have moments when I care, but they are rare and I like to remind myself of all the bullshit I'm avoiding, like big spending (relationships and kids are expensive) and heartache / emotional stress. There are clear benefits to being single, when you're well-off.
