I can't promise you that money will bring you happiness, because it didn't do it for me. But the lack of it, for sure, will bring you unhappiness. Money buys you options and security. Without options and security your soul cannot soar and be free. From my Upcoming bookCelso Cukierkorn

The Jews understand that the blessing of wealth was dependant upon obedience to the law and covenant. The laws in the Torah, if followed, would bring blessings.5 The Tanakh says, “How joyful are those who fear the Lord and delight in obeying his commands…they themselves will be wealthy.” (NLT, Psalm 112:1, 3) "If they listen and obey God, they will be blessed with prosperity throughout their lives.” (NLT, Job 36:11) .H.W.
