Jesus said it almost every way you can. Paul underlined it. Current materialism brushes it off. Here's an article:

Simple - earning and spending money does NOT bring happiness. Count the problem-folks around you. Struggle to maintain the payments or whatever on the "medicine for what ails you" that was your "dream".
One of the hardest things in the world to sell is the dream-house or dream-car that was supposed to bring happiness, simply because the new dreamer wants to dream a new dream.
We're caught up in it, of course. But every time we take a break from the concept, we recognize that private prayer "re-centers" us, while being a busy consumer does not.
Simple. But hard to manage - - - all those advertisements work in the opposite direction, don't they?
