I can't speak for anyone else. But for me, I truly started getting happy when I started "Reveling in Simplicity" Not in a superficial way, not in the "minimal is cool" way. But in the I really don't need much to be happy way. I've moved a LOT. I was in the military. And once I got out, I has a string of businesses I started all over the US. And I use to carry these boxes of "STUFF" with me. My wife too. We had all this crap, that was soooooo important to us. But half the time we never even bothered to unpack it. Finally, we both came to our senses, and sold, gave, or threw most of it away. I hear people talk about "Golden Handcuffs" I know what you mean. I had them. But you know what, I was able to shake them too. So maybe they're not handcuffs. Just decorations. That we like so much we won't take them off. But we can. My family is great now. We live on so much less. And our quality of life is through the roof! If my family was a startup, we would have so much runway our competitors would be shaking in their boots. And just like a startup, that gives you a lot of freedom to experiment. I love to experiment. Simplicity is the key to happiness. At least that's my opinion. Sorry for the rant in the comments. Didn't mean for it to go on so long.
