It's not that deep. I want thing. What's preventing me from getting thing? Usually it's money. Now I have thing and that makes me happy. However happiness fades. If it didn't, we would never desire to seek out repeated desirable experiences. We wouldn't seek out novelty. And there's nothing wrong with happiness fading. It's a good thing that it does fade. You don't have to be "unhappy" to become happy. Sometimes I'm just bored. Content, for sure, but bored. Money is the vehicle by which we attain the goods and experiences we want. Even in personal relationships, money does help. The vast majority of divorces cite money as a major reason. Mostly because lack of money means lower standard of living and that can cause stress, etc. I mean, you have to go to the extreme of owning an NFL team to find something where you can be sure the vast majority of people can't attain. Because you know that for most things, that could make someone happier. If you want a sweet car, buying a sweet car will make you happier. If you want a huge mansion, you need mansion money. You want a suite at the Super Bowl, money solves that. Etc. And yes, if you don't get those things, it's not like it'll make the person despondent, but like the meme says "Life is good, but it can be better."
