Making more money has not made me more happy

Money doesn't guarantee happiness, but lack of money ensures unhappiness.

Money is just a unit of value that you buy through your stress, risk, labor, and time. Now that you have money, its time to consider what you want to trade that for. For some people its a giant home, a dream boat, expensive car, vactations. The good thing is money can get you any of those things, whatever you desire. Just decide what you want and go get it.

Or maybe you decide that extra money isn't worth what it costs you. That's what most of us have decided. My material possessions are enough. Now I want to ensure my current standard of living forever while enjoying my free time while improving my health, relationships, and personal enjoyment.
