Yeah, they go hand in hand for me. I am at my happiest whenever I travel and I need tons of money to be able to travel and explore the world. So, indeed money is happiness in my case BUT it still depends on the person & their thinking. People have different perspective of happiness. I've been to a lot of developing countries these past years and have observed that, those who live in extreme poverty are the happiest people I've seen in my life. But why? They starve and struggle with fears of diseases yet smiles never leave their faces and then I realized it's all about gratitude. Just being alive is a blessing. As the Buddha saying goes, happiness does not depend on what you have or who you are. It solely relies on what you think. Happiness is an inside job.
