Money can't buy happiness, money just buys different types of problems.
Money is not everything to everyone. Yes some people are happy living middle class lives, going to work everyday and coming home to pet the dog waiting at the door. Some of those people love it, and some of those people fucking hate it. They wish they had more. I think everyone wants to be rich at one time or another in their life. They key is learning to be content with whever you end up. If you base your happiness in life on whether or not you get rich and you dont get rich, of course you will be unhappy.
At some point you have to step back and ask yourself....
Am i living check to check? No.
Is there money in the bank? Yes. It may not be millions but if my job were to explode tomorrow, i would be ok for a while.
Is my family healthy? Yes.
This type of situation gives for a good foundation for happiness. The rest depends on your situation be it marriage, children or your job.
The place where money becomes a problem is in the homes where there is not enough money. Arguments start due to worry. When couples are worried about finances they tend to argue. People in these situations seems to think that when they get rich all of their problems will be solved. This is incorrect in the worse way. As i stated before, money just buys different types of problems. Being rich comes with a lot of responsibility unless, you are a trust fund baby. If you actually worked hard to get rich, chances are you have to keep working to stay rich. A lot of people cannot handle the presure and thus are not happy. Some rich people would rather have just enough.
