I don't need money, but I want it.
I don't need a social status, but I want a powerful one.

Studies have indicated that happiness is correlated with salary up to around $75,000 per year--after that point one may make more money but one's happiness will generally not increase any further.

So to a certain extent, money will help make you happy--it's nice to be able to not starve, have a shelter against the elements, and not constantly have to worry about survival.  But I doubt the megabillionaire with his fleet of jets is necessarily any happier than your average middle-class guy.  :shrug:

Quote:

the study points out that there are actually two types of happiness. There's your changeable, day-to-day mood: whether you're stressed or blue or feeling emotionally sound. Then there's the deeper satisfaction you feel about the way your life is going — the kind of thing Tony Robbins tries to teach you. While having an income above the magic $75,000 cutoff doesn't seem to have an impact on the former (emotional well-being), it definitely improves people's Robbins-like life satisfaction. In other words, the more people make above $75,000, the more they feel their life is working out on the whole. But it doesn't make them any more jovial in the mornings.
