> How many people can find success in life in the absence of money, such as with mathematical glory on the secret of the primes? Yes, a certain measure of wealth is required to find happiness. Without basic needs being met, it is hard to find much more than misery. Of course, most people want more money than they have, but different cultures place a higher emphasis on the acquisition of money than others. And studies have shown that beyond a certain point, additional money adds very little incremental happiness. On the other hand, living in a culture that places high worth on money has significant side effects, such as people who have sufficient means spending much of their time, energy and worry on things that really don’t give them the happiness they are looking for, to the detriment of things that do (relationships, hobbies, etc.).
