How can a person be both poor and happy?

I am having a very hard time understanding how they can be. Especially since now I am one of them. I mean all I've been doing is worrying about everything. How am I going to pay for this? For that? What am I going to do when I can no longer live here? How to prevent others from knowing of my tragic downfall? There is no time or energy left for being happy.

Money is just one tool (of many) to secure necessities to achieve happiness. If your perception of money is that it is the sole source of your happiness, then you are deceiving yourself and will never be happy... not really.

@MarkPaul I do. But not if we are homeless. We may not even be together. It could destroy everything. But I believe everything will be ok. But still just saying. That I can't keep up this for to long. And my daughter has a drug problem too. But all three kids live at home and grandsons. I threw the father of the grandsones out cus he lost another job. Like the fifth one in three years. He only worked like 6 months of the last three years. Should of thrown him out long ago.
