I wouldn't say I'm the happiest guy around, I constantly cut on what I feel like doing to prioritise what's really important (or is it?), but that gives me a feeling of discipline, of character strenghth, and is sorta like the role I have decided to play in my entourage.

Well said J-$
Irresponsiblility leads to problems with money. Plain and simple. Sure there are happy poor people but they may be rich in other ways. My point was simple: Rich is GOOD. Why? Because I can take responsibility for my actions and not go haywire. I know how to shop and learned how to save safely. Invest in self through school and education and share WISELY not on impulse.
The problem here is some people see being rich as a burden or the root of all evil. That's a reactionary response and outlook that brings about disaster.
Keeping a level head, not giving into impulse and not separating oneself from reality makes wealth more enjoyable.
