As someone who grew up in an environment of rich people I can assure you that I have never met more bitter and unhappy people than those who chased being "just a little bit richer" their whole lives only to figure out in the end that nobody likes them, they spent their lives in shit jobs, talking to shit people, sharing the company of shit people, worrying about shit problems. Unless you are really struggling just relax. Getting rich won't get you happy ever. If money is a constant problem that is a difference. But I have seen stupid rich people argue over peanuts as if they were on the brink of bankrupcy — that existential angst will not go away with more money, if anything it will grow bigger as you have more to lose. What counts is doing what you enjoy, making decent money that lifts your worries, spending time with good people both in work and in private, living in a place you like. Nobody will give you back your life once you are rich, and once you are rich that dream might become the thing you will spend your life worrying about. Sure, speaking from a nation with universal healthcare and social security this is all a little easy to say, but if your goal is a good life there is such a thing as enough money. Too much money is poison.
