No matter where we are on the wealth continuum, money plays a huge role in our lives – as a means to an end or as an end in itself. We know that money doesn’t buy happiness – or do we? We live in a culture dominated by making and spending money, and it is difficult to escape the feeling that we always need more – that buying that dress or taking that trip is what we need to feel good. And often it does – for a while. But soon the pursuit of more distracts us from feeling satisfied with what we already have.
