Like someone else mentioned, true happiness is a frame of mind. How you get to that point, whether through religion, family, relaxation, meditation, or just dumb luck... varies.
You can be happy with millions or with pennies. Its all perspective.
People are "built" a certain way...
Much like I doubt you can take a lazy person and make them into a workaholic that runs a small business 24 hours a day... Similarly, you can't take a self motivated person and make them sit on a couch 24 hours a day.
Wealth, is a by-product of hard work (usually)...
There is little relationship between happiness and wealth past a minimal subsistence amount.
Like most of you, as time goes on, my "wealth" increases. I certainly have way more than I had in my 20's, and 30's. I am no more or less happy...
For me at least, happiness is looking into the eyes of my kids, as they constantly surprise me with their wisdom and kindness...
