I have always strived to have enough money that I get to make my own decisions instead of my bank balance making them for me.
I'm not there. |

Having the power of "I don't give a ****" is a beautiful thing. If you are doing well financially, it certainly helps to "not give a ****"....

My friend and business partner is the wealthiest person in my circle of friends and he seems pretty happy. He went through a lot of shit (like wife cheating on him and divorcing him, both parents dying and having 2 heart attacks within a year) and has since decided to just live off his wealth and stopped doing anything except for enjoying life. He drives around in his Supercars/Hypercars, spends half of the year travelling and stays in the best Hotels. He just got back from 3 months in Asia. He seems very happy now. Not so much when he went through a lot of shit..

That's because of them, not money. They'd be unhappy with or without money.
I, on the other hand, could be much happier with $50k - $75k and radically change my life for $150k. That's really nothing in the scheme of things. |

There have been several studies linking money and happiness and it's something around $85k for an annual income is where the money/happiness line intersects. Making more than that doesn't provide any extra happiness. Money is a tool that can help with happiness but it doesn't, by itself, create it.
