Yes I find that I don't really need much. I guess I've always been that way. Acquiring things has never really appealed to me that much. I just somehow knew that it wasn't the key to happiness because I watched other people with endless desires for things that could never be satiated.

Having few wants I am always content. Although i do enjoy things for their utility like instruments, books, and basic things. Yet i think about what I would get if I was rich and I just want to have a house with a pool and hot tub. Wealth to me is the ability to be free to experience the short time we have here, see the world, help make it better, and spend my time freely doing what I'm passionate about.

This was a wonderful post!

Things won't make you happy.

I could talk really lot about this topic, because I think this is really important. In my opinion happiness comes from inside. Not from owning things or having money. So if you think you will be happier if you have more money, nothing could be further from the truth. Of course, money gives you options. But eventually not money that makes you happy. If you put your happiness to the point when you have a lot of money, you won't be even happy at that point. You may feel then, that you need even more money to feel happy. It can easily become an unachievable goal.

Also e.g. a new phone can make you happy of course, but for how much time? You can get bored on it in a few days or a week. Therefore to live the happiest life:
