That's pretty reductive.

Having enough money to buy "almost whatever" allows for real happiness to happen. Money doesn't buy happiness, but it opens the door for it.

Family, friends, love, hobbies.

- Financial hardships are one of the top reasons for divorce.

- Building and keeping loving relationships and friends is a lot harder when you have to work 60-80 hours a week.

- Funds to have hobbies so you can do what you truly want to do rather than what pays the bills.

A good fulfilling life is simple (but usually not easy).
