You could never get into a relationship, and if you were ugly, you would be pretty lonely forever.
This shouldn't be my problem Plus, even if you are ugly, chances are you'll be REALLY REALLY rich (because eventually you'll understand how things work). And we all know that money DOES in fact buy happiness, love, friends, etc, etc, etc So, you won't be lonely.

By love, friends and happiness you mean hookers right?

Ok, I guess I should provide a more detailed explanation. I will try to do so by giving you different examples to compare.
Imagine 2 different situations (I've only listed 2 to simplify the situation):
1) You work your a** off on a job you hate to try to provide the basic needs for your family that includes a wife that you don't really like any more and your kids (the only reason you still live with your wife). Your house looks like a dump and the fact that you share it with nearly all of your relatives does not help it. Needless to say that the only kind of entertainment you can afford is drinking until you pass out.
2) You don't really have to work because well... you've already got the money. If you ever do feel like working, it will only be because you want to do something, not a necessity. You live in your most favorite setting (whether it is a tropial island, a penthouse in a busy downtown, a luxury yacht, or whatever else you can think of). You have a beautiful wife that loves you for who you are (i.e. a guy with lots and lots of money ). Entertainment? Well... ANYTHING you can think of, including lighting a fart on fire on the International Space Station while trying to use the beer funnel with your buddies in the 0 gravity setting.
Which one is more appealing to you?

LOL I was always a firm believer in money leading to happiness, don't you worry, but how would you get a wife if you never grow older?
Might be fine for a few years, but after 10 and you haven't aged a day... well, I guess you'll be sick of her by then anyway

Ya, keep in mind that you got tons of money, so you can always toss this one and get a new one
Edit: come to think of it... you can get more than one

Not being able to think properly would suck, big time. It would suck more than Roqua in an elementary school.
Of course, it shields you from many things, but nobody that has a mind would consider it a benefit, unless he is being cynical.
There is the one effect of long words discombobulating you when you are cranially challenged. Most things a stupid one is going to say will be pretty risible. This is both good and bad: It might make him likable, in a way, but those that are more gifted intellectually will shun him, unless they are less arrogant and more compassionate than your typical Codexian - though mind you: Codexians have good reason to be arrogant.
In the long term, just the thought of it is almost unbearable. Imagine the human race evolving and evolving, becoming smarter every day: Your little mind must trouble you forever then. There is only one word to describe what you will feel: Torment. You would just keep sitting there, ever and ever and ever, while the world spins faster with every passing second. You would be paralysed, for you would not be able to keep up. Maybe you would bag groceries, or waste time in an internet forum where you post verbal diarrhoea.
You would, however, never be bored, and easily amused. Maybe you would have impressive muscles and get the hot chicks - or jocks, if that's what you prefer.
A scary thought.
And in China, a milk-maiden has just spilled a jug of milk.
Marvin: I think you ought to know I'm feeling very depressed.
Trillian: Well, we have something that may take your mind off it.
Marvin: It won't work, I have an exceptionally large mind.
Trillian: Yeah, we know.
