Quotes to ponder:
"Many of us equate money to happiness. And it's true, sort of. Research has shown that happiness rises with income, but only up to $75,000."
"Buying stuff is the equivalent of getting drunk, it only temporarily soothes our unhappiness."
"Finding happiness comes from within, it's not something that can be purchased from Amazon."
