I couldn't agree more. My dad's mom, may she rest in peace, used to say, "Money is the least important thing in the world, as long as you have plenty of it." You could see that as a tongue-in-cheek way of saying money is super important. I prefer to see it as saying that being poor makes it hard to enjoy life, but once you're in good financial shape, other things, like relationships, are what will determine how happy you are.
