Not only is happiness not money, it is not even like money.

Richard Koch
About This Quote

There is a popular saying that says, "Happiness is like money. The more you have, the more you want." But not only is this false; it's also misleading. It's like money in the sense that it can buy many things, but we shouldn't confuse it with money. For example, happiness and money do not go together and they're not at all the same thing.
