There is a saying: "Money does not bring happiness!" In my opinion, this is entirely true. Money should never be a reason for living, even if the large majority of people surrounding us actually believe in such a crazy idea. I can only pity them, as my purpose in the present work is not providing answers, but raising questions. You are the ones to judge for yourselves and draw the right conclusions regarding your own life and beliefs.
As a general rule for the sane individual, life must be more than just work and struggle to raise more and more money. The interesting thing is that, no matter how rich one gets, you will always wish for more. It is not a scarce happening when people got to doing stupid and illegal things, just to get their hands on a larger am
ount of money. The more interesting thing is that as quickly as they earn this fast money, the quicker they spend it!
Therefore, can we state that the rich people are not necessarily happy? The answer is yes, when considering the fact that they keep struggling to make more money than they already have. Rich people are not happy and have surely not made peace with their bank account. Instead of playing this insane game, they should spend quality time with their families, presuming these people were wise enough to care for this matter too. Unfortunately, most of them are complete disasters regarding family life, whether it is divorce, celibacy or children that have picked up the worst habits.
What is the point of owning the most beautiful house on a riverside or having your own private plane to get there, if there is no one to enjoy it with? Can the rich people make the difference between true friends and friends who just want to take advantage of their wealth? As you can see, there are many issues which will probably never get a perfectly good answer. The most important thing is to try and live a balanced life, so that you are never in danger of falling in either one of the extremes, at least in what money is concerned.

"As a general rule for the sane individual, life must be more than just work and struggle to raise more and more money."
What you just stated above is that to be healthy, one can't just work and struggle to raise money but what does that have to do with money, by itself? There are those with patents, who get royalties of a few hundred thousand per year, not having to do anything. As far as I'm concerned, having money has nothing to do with struggle or limitation; it has to do with liberating one's time for one's own activities, not the playbook of a corporate entity or being able to have a safe retirement.
