Of course the answer is yes. When people have money then they perceive that the amount of suffering is reduced. By suffering I don't necessarily mean physical pain, it could be emotional, mental or any afflicted states. Religion is what people in poorer countries latch unto in an effort to ease their discomfort. However money or the glamour of money can also bring suffering and discomfort. When this happens people generally reach out to religion again as it is something from memory that can ease their pain etc. Unfortunately money doesn't buy happiness, unconditional love, peace, tranquility and meaning to ones life. Our thinking keeps us ever wanting more and more with increased wealth. It's just a perceived thought that comes and then dissolves.
