Desiring money beyond what you need to be happy is just an accounting hobby. This did hit home, and hard. However, buffer and lots of it, is the only preparation one can do for Black Swan events. I don't think keeping money that is sufficient to keep you happy is a healthy strategy in the long term. Additionally, we need to bear in mind that we (humans) no longer live in our ancestral environment which we evolved for, and happiness as we experience it, is more often than not out-of-place.
