But no, money in of itself doesn't make you feel good. This has been proven. There are plenty of unhappy or suicidal millionaires.

Steve, I like usually the analogy of games to life as well. It seems to work well when speaking to video gamers especially. "It's time to level up and earn more achievements!"
I am well aware that people with money are sometimes sad, depressed, or suicidal (I know a few of them ). I did not intent to imply that money was the source of life's joy...my point is that there's a good feeling associated with having money versus the contrary and anyone who would say that money is not a wonderful thing, etc. obviously has had very little experience with it.
