Although we all know that we cannot take anything with us when we die, we still struggle to get closer to the kind of life that money can buy, just so that we might have a happier life before we go. However, when people do become wealthier, their level of happiness does not grow along with the improvement of their living conditions.

Everyone is seeking a happy life, yet they all seem to be experiencing unhappiness of one kind or another. More and more people are realizing that having more money and possessions does not guarantee more happiness.
