On that note -- the real thing that having lots of money saves you is time.

Money does not buy happiness. I mean, really -- after a certain point, more money just doesn't make you more happy. We acclimate to whatever level of luxury we are accustomed to, so if we're willing to continually increase our spending, we may get some temporary happiness...but that's a terribly wasteful and unfulfilling way to live.

The two things most strongly related to the internal happiness 'set points' that people have are low levels neuroticism, and an internal locus of control.

My wife develops Android apps -- in one of her early contracts, she was telling me that although it took only her to develop the same app as an entire team of iPhone developers, the iPhone app made somewhere around 50 times as much revenue.
