i was more answering your point here: "But does it actually help to live a happy life?"

that said, the point it tries to make is invalid.
so few people attach so much value to money that it hurts the other things they value.
Most people making the point try to blur the line between the minutely small number of people who value money above all else with successful people who strive to have money, the last thing in *their* life they are missing (already having life's other important things)
