The only solace you can take is that while money can make you happy in various ways, our basic instincts aren't capable of simply just taking it and running. The brain can really tell if you "earned" it, and bring immensely more satisfaction and contentment for a fraction of it regardless of the amount of misery and stress that surrounds it.
Its why most women and rich are constantly depressed, because they "earn" so little in their life, that despite having often literally everything handed to them they are still miserable little wrecks who need to break taboos and do increasingly terrible shit to try and feel something as simple as you or I would get with a bucket of fried chicken after a 12 hour shift.
You have people think we'll have a UBI utopia where they'll write the next great novel after robots free up all their time doing all the work, instead of being strung up on drugs and wrecking the robots simply because they can.
Or perhaps strung up and pumped full of drugs by the robots until they determine that we are no longer needed.
