For sure... plenty... money is the KEY but should never be the goal to happiness. The biggest issue with this is the question of how much is enough. You see, I've worked with some of the wealthiest people in Asia looking after their wealth and meeting them on a regular basis, at first $1m is a goal, then it becomes $5m, then $20m and so forth... the big issue with it is "how do you measure your life?"... money is easy to measure and compare, but people running that race tend to forget their original goals and keep moving their goal posts as money and numbers are "infinite", hence, the final goal post will never be reached. Ever. So, money can help you get happy IF you know how much is enough and what to do with it, and IF you have non-monetary goals that you may support with money. It's complicated. Great read, thanks for sharing your thoughts!
