In my experience, I have always been happier when I didn’t have money. When you don’t have money, you become creative and realise, that life is not all about money.
This doesn’t mean money doesn’t matter; it matters, but it just means that it shouldn’t be your main focus or obsession. As humans, we seek meaning, love and our own version of happiness. We need joy, happiness and love. We can’t buy it, it comes to you, so if you are worried about money, remember- make your own choices and happiness will come to you soon.

You’ll take joy in the simple things in life. If it gets really bad, you’ll prioritize the things you really need over another useless car, that will never make you happy.
