Even if i agree with your opinion that money or wealth do not guarantee happiness I'll still want to be wealthy first then I can later deal with that part of the happiness it doesn't guarantee.

No amount of motivational speech should make you settle for less or comfortable being poor under the auspices of enjoying happiness.
Money bring us closer to the things, people, places and achievements in life that brings happiness to humans. It may not guarantee but it's a quintessence to be happy about life. How do you feel, if your kids come to you asking to go see a movie at the cinema on a weekend, because their classmates in school couldn't stop talking about it to them about how their own dad had planned on taking them to the cinema but, you can't afford it because there's no money?
It all depends on the position every wealthy man finds himself, for the case of the KONGA CEO after reading through his story, I discovered he lost hope and faith from everything about his marital life and family. A situation he could have been patient with for what the future can be.
