Agreed.  Be happy with what is there.  Focus on what you need.  Re-evaluate what you "need". I've had money.  I don't miss it.  I know people working to skrimp and save before having kids only to find out they waited so long they can no longer have them. I've talked to extremely wealthy people that gave it all away and say nothing made them happier than raising people up.  Many of them cashed out to just be able to do that.    Live a life of meaning and worry less about the meaning of life.
