Having been quite poor I can speak from experience that I having enough money to do whatever you want (within reason) is far preferable. That said, there's been quality of life studies done that support the theory that after a certain level of financial comfort your happiness does not increase. In fact, having more assets can mean having more responsibility and headaches after a certain level.
