Personally, I think not having to worry about finances as early in life as possible is a good thing. There is less stress in knowing that phase of life is taken care of for yourself and for your family, and it provides a lot of freedom in the way you live your life.

Although that scenario does provide greater peace of mind, it may or may not provide happiness. Imo, money may be a component of happiness–but it’s not the source. That lies far deeper in the human psyche, and is different for each person.
