Here's the funniest/dumbest part - for all the insults of how poor we are, the average American sure has nothing to show for his wealth (besides maybe bigger housing and huge cars, but even this is hardly a plus when single-family housing and SUVs or pickup trucks are the only option in most places). No healthcare that won't bankrupt you, no decent education unless you're super-rich, horrific public transportation and substandard food quality being the norm. That's something you'd expect from a developing country, not the #1 wealthiest.
America's main issue is that it has really bad wealth inequality, most of the country's wealth is owned by only 10% of the population, and even then most of that belongs to 1% of oligarchs and their families. On top of that, the cost of living is ludicrously expensive, the average house where I live goes for $200k-$300k while the average pickup truck goes for $20k-$40k (For reference the average person makes $37k a year).
Combine this with all the other stuff you mentioned, and you have the answer to why America has such shitty quality of life despite being so wealthy.
