Speak for yourself. There are a lot of aspects to being happy, and having to not want for things certainly helps.

You will never not want for things, no matter how much you have.

But you can do that without any money.

Balancing the things we spend our life on, relative to an understanding of what makes us happy, is going to be an idiosyncratic exercise. Assuming that X won't contribute to the happiness of person Y is some deep projection. There seem to be many kinds of happiness too. Would I remain happy if I lost my house? Yes. I have gone through enough ups and downs to know that. But would I feel as fulfilled? No. I have gone through enough ups and downs to know that.
