It's not politically correct to say, and also very shallow and superficial, but for ME, money brings ME happiness. This is from my personal experience.
Everyone is different though. For some people they care more about family and friends or whatever, but for me personally, money will make me happy any time.

making good money must be fairly new for you. it wears off after about 5 years or so. its kinda like doing the same drug over and over. eventually you build up a tolerance to it and it just becomes the norm.
life isn't perfect but i think im more happy now than i have been in a long time. for me, a lot depends on my social situation. when i used to spend all day long on the computer and not really hang out with friends, no girlfriend i felt depressed. now that i try and use the computer for work only 9-5 and get off and out after that, go for walks with the girlfriend, go up to cottage country for the weekend i feel better. although when im not making money i still can get depressed because it makes me worry about the future. its all about balance i guess.
