According to my research, being rich eliminates approximately 67% of life’s everyday problems, which means a reduction in 67% of the unhappiness you would otherwise experience. But a reduction in unhappiness does not correspond to an increase in happiness. It doesn’t work that way.
True permanent happiness can only be found through fulfillment.
Seeking fulfillment requires that you pursue meaningful dreams and goals. The pursuit of dreams and goals forces you to grow and improve as an individual. And, the more you grow and improve, the more fulfilled you feel.
