When I started in business 30 years ago I was so poor I had to live in my friends living room and I drove a car with plywood over the floor since the frame was so rusted out without it my feet would hit the pavement. When I started making money and I had enough money to afford a comfortable (but not lavish) place to live, a safe car, pay my bills, buy food and go on a vacation, I must say that my happiness did increase as my life become less stressful.
Since that time I have found that the greatest happiness money can buy beyond the basics is by using it to help other people. In the end having a positive impact on the people and places of this world (whether the charity is large like Bill Gates or small like me) will bring you more happiness than the constant accumulation of things you don't really need.
