Nah, I just think that if your not happy when you've made enough money to have a roof over your head, a decent car, and financial security, you won't be happy with a really big roof over your head, a really nice car, and financial security. I've been dirt poor and reasonably comfortable at different times in my life, and I know that holds true for me.
Its just a question of temperament and priorities. Some people need to play the lifestyle/money game, some people don't. Some people are happy giving away all their money, and going to live in a monastery. Neither one is necessarily better than the other. I know a few people who've done the latter, and society benefits from their experience just as it does from people who prefer doing the former.
I agree with Fatpad, you seem to be projecting your own personality and its needs onto everyone else. Most of your posts in this thread are some variation of: "if you don't want to have what I want to have, you can't be happy" To turn it around, it would be like quiet calling you are a moron because you don't love snowboarding. You don't have to think about it too long to see how utterly ridiculous that attitude is.
