I have to agree. I always think back to the part in the movie 'The Bucket List' in which Morgan Freeman tells Jack Nicholson about how the Egyptians measured someone's life before allowing/disallowing them into heaven. They would ask two question: Have you had happiness in your life? Have your brought happiness to other's lives?

To look at it from another angle. Think about Maslow's hierarchy of needs. What's the highest rung? Self actualization. It has nothing to do with material wealth.
