To a certain degree, dont make yourself suicidal/depressed etc.
That's dangerous thinking. Happiness is a state not a goal. People always tell themselves "I'll be happy later" and they never are. I don't think lots of money can seriously influence well being unless you're very materialistic. But even then..0
