Anyone who thinks more money makes you more happy probably needs to get some more life experience under their belts.

When I was in my 20s, I probably thought the same thing. By my mid-30s, I had learned how untrue that is. I switched to a job that paid significantly less but came with better hours, more respect, more control of my own working conditions, less stress, more family time, etc. and I have been far happier ever since. Sure it would be nice to earn more money but it isn't worth all that comes with it.
