I agree.
If someone who could see the future told me that I would never be able to go away on vacation or ever afford luxury items for the rest of my life, I wouldn't be concerned about my happiness or the happiness of my family. It's people that create happiness, not anything you can buy. This is not to say you can't have happy experiences using lots of money; but I do say having lots of money isn't necessary to a happy life. There are many examples of this.
