Agree with your therapist, scaredy. In and of itself money does not make you happy, but, imo, being able to create the life you want for yourself and your family is very rewarding, and money can facilitate the means to that end, for the short time we are all in this world.
Imo, as you discover your own sense of self and what constitutes the core of your being–whatever you may decide that is–then acknowledge that everything on earth is transitory, you’ll stop seeking a sense of security in places it does not exist, and you will find a sense of peace and happiness beyond your expectations.
