"Mo' money mo' problems"
I don't really think that's true. I do see wealthy families that are completely crazy and sad to observe, and I also see less wealthy people with a buttload of problems..child support, taking more than 2 hrs of commute to a shit paying job because that same job can't get them a car... Some people can have a little money, though, and still be happy.
I guess it also depends of what you want for your life. For me, growing up was easy. I was pretty fortunate compared to most kids. I received a good education, my parents were happy together, I had siblings...
Well all of this I still have. When I was a minor I always knew people a lot less wealthy who seemed very happy, so I thought I didn't need wealth as an adult. Now I am one with little to no money to my name, 50 bucks in the checking account, and I'm thinking.."when I have kids, do I want them to have the same opportunities as I did at their age (college, travelling to beautiful places, living in foreign countries..) or will I have to limit them to the basics? "
I don't know if money = happiness or not, all I know is that that question = unhappiness.. and if I did have more I would worry a bit less.
