Reply to comment by zed857 in TIL the guy who played Nick the bartender in "It's a Wonderful Life," Sheldon Leonard, became one of the most successful TV producers in history, having created the Andy Griffith Show, Dick Van Dyke, among many others. As a tribute, the two main characters on "Big Bang Theory" were named after him. by latchkey_adult

Financially speaking in a world of depression and depravity a bar tender would be doing better than in one of wholesomeness and quiet.

Though notice while Nick is better off financially he is absolutely not happier in the alternate dimension.

His wife left him and took the kids, IIRC
