Will Money Make You Happy?

Will money make you happy?  Zig Ziglar once said;  “money is not everything but it ranks right up there with oxygen”

Its true lack of money can be stressful and make us unhappy. But is money really what makes us happy?  What comes first, happiness or money? Many think, “If I only had more…then I would be happier. Is this really true or is it the other way around?  What came first — the chicken or the egg?  My experience has led me to believe that success happens in my life because I am happy.  I am happiest when I am in the process not at the destination.  Victory is sweet but I love new challenges. I like to build, grow, create and embrace the struggles that lead to accomplishing a goal.   I don’t know that there is evidence that suggests people’s happiness increases with their wealth.
