Having money is not the key to happyness. Living your dreams is the key to happyness. I've had money, lost it, and got it back again, and most of the people i know with money are miserable while the broke ones are blissful in their financial ignorance. When your rich, you dont have real friends, only associates. The hardest thing isn't getting money, it's keeping money. When you got it like that, you can't even hang with the same people anymore, cuz they either jealous or expect you to support them financially. I've had to cut off close family and friends over money, they all think i owe them something, or should "invest" in them. Dont chase money, chase your dreams. The money will follow.
