I think you need to do some serious insight into what happiness means to you. It is different for everyone. But there are a hell of a lot of people out there who have all the money in the world yet are still unhappy. And vice versa. There is no fool proof recipe. Some of us believe money will lead to happiness, then spend their entire life chasing money in pursuit of happiness, only to find they still haven't arrived where they expected to - yet have probably arrived there with plenty of enemies, yet just a handful (if any) of friends.
