Some people think that a big house brings contentment. It doesnt. Things wont make you happy...only friends and family. To hell with stuff, it complicates life and makes it shallow.
Thats my hallmark moment. 
I disagree, money can buy things that "could" lead to short and long term happiness. (good quality doctors, nice homes, high quality putang, better food, traveling, nice things...)
I don't know anyone who is happy to be in poverty
