Here's a question: is there an optimum level of wealth? Because sure sure, it's better to be off the street than on it, but I can see how there might be such a thing as "too much money" if you can't handle the burden or the pressure of knowing how to allocate it or use it best for the benefit of yo brotha man.
Like, perhaps wealth is directly related to one factor, and inversely related to another, and the best spot to be is the one where factors one and two balance out perfectly. Comfort versus guiltlessness?
To more adequately answer the question, though, I make it my life's goal to end up poor later on down the line. I may sooner or later change my mind as my perception of life as a poor man changes, but for now I want nothing to do with money.

I'm broke, so I really can't say. But I'm pretty sure I'd be A LOT less miserable if I had lots of money.

Anyone who says money can't make you happy has never been in a situation where they haven't had any. Im living in poverty, I'm on food stamps, no car, got a phone but its prepaid minutes and im out and can't afford more minutes for a long time... I've even started donating plasma.
I don't even have a computer or internet, I come over here to my uncles to use his comp.
Being poor SUCKS. If you're already depressed and you slide into poverty, trust me, poverty is going to amplify your depression.

LOL, no offense, I'm not trying to start anything, but this most definitely had to have been written by someone who has always been in the middle class or better.

Bingo. Sucks when you don't have money for the essentials. Thats when money really matters vis-a-vis happiness.

Having no money is bad...but having too much money is a curse. I've seen my own sister and parents get extremely rich and what it did to them. The thing about humans is that we always adapt. Getting extremely rich will make you happy for ...oh maybe about a month or so..and you adapt to it and then you a run into a huge problem....what's next? We always keep looking for more and more to be happy. We arn't actually suppose to get rich, but just desire it to keep us motivated. It's very hard to find happiness when you can buy anything on a whim. The little everyday things don't bring as much joy, you will be looking for something huge which can't really come after getting the ultimate prize.
And the saddest part of having alot money is that you cannot let it go even if you realize its bad for you.

Money makes me feel happy in a way because I can buy
the things that I wanna have. It's just my simple pleasure.
I'm not a shopaholic because I rarely go shopping. It's just
that I am so fond of gadgets. And if I have those things, I
can at least feel excited and happy. But unfortunately those
are so expensive so I rather not spend at all. And if I am rich, maybe I can travel more and expose myself to my surroundings. I can try a lot of cool things that I wanna try.
I can give gifts to my friends and family.... mostly those
things.
