While money won’t 100% take away my depression and all my issues, it sure would help eliminate or reduce a good 80% of them. Money IS important. Money DOES make one “happy,” either directly or indirectly (by reducing stress, etc).
Anyone who says “money is not important” is either well off, never had to struggle, had parents who always took care of them, or are in denial.
Anyways, I wish I had 5 Million USD (or Euro, or Pound, or KWD) so I can just bounce and do whatever I want and go wherever I want. Ah…won’t that be the life, to not have a care in the world?

Would you rather have $1,000 and one year, or $1, and a thousand years?
I used to always be broke. Then I started earning more. I stopped being broke, but suffered from stress and felt like I was working all the time.
I have to say I was happier broke.
I have found that buying things does not make me happier. I anticipate that it will, but it doesn’t.
I agree that e.g. being able to just move somewhere really nice, or to never need to work again would be nice.
But my experience is that the more money I get, the dumber I spend it.
