Does money really buy happyness?

I don't know if money really buys happyness, but at the moment I have 99 problems and money would solve most if not all of them. When I say money, I don't mean being filthy rich. I mean living life comfortably, to the point that if I want something I can easily buy it. I am a simple guy, I'm not into lavish or luxury things. So when I mean buy anything, I don't mean really expensive stuff.

Most people your age are experiencing this. I did a budget analysis of my own spending a long time ago, and hands down, housing is the greatest expense we have and housing costs can be managed.

Couples your age are buying Tiny Houses so they will have disposable income. That way they can enjoy their lives and take vacations and do all the things they want and need to do.

After my divorce, I downsized to living in a room rental so that I could pay for my car insurance after 3 small parking lot accidents in a row that were my fault. You can play with your housing and perhaps you will be able to save enough to find the comfortable life you seek.
