I think that is what is meant when people say money isn't everything. I have known a lot of very rich people and I can say with certainty that they are some of the most bitter, miserable people I have ever met in my life. They really are/were. Maybe it's because they never really understood what mattered or that they felt people only used them for their money. 
I have known some people with very little who have seemed like the most content, happiest people I have ever met. Generally for myself, I would say having enough not to be economically insecure is good enough for me. I don't have a desire for a lot of material things and as long as I can meet my needs and buy some gifts for loved ones and have a little fun here and there I am pretty happy.
