Do you guys think that money is the key to happiness or does it make the lock to happiness easier to pick?

Here’s a few things that I would likely invest in if I made significantly more money:
More regular therapy
Personal training with a nutritionist
Eating better quality ingredients rather than just stretching cheap ingredients as far as I can
All bills on autopay
Lawn service/home cleaning
More nights out outside of my home as well as real vacations
A lot more wellness doctor visits rather than waiting until issues get too bad to ignore

None of these things will make me “happy”, but they will make so many things simpler. Getting healthier by investing in more knowledgeable training rather than just winging everything myself will likely result in me getting in significantly better shape. Coming home to an empty dirty house full of chores after work is a frequent swift kick in the metaphorical nuts. Regular therapy was super helpful when I was doing it before I had to cut it out due to financial issues. All three of those things are likely to result in a significantly better physical and mental state while eliminating many of my biggest routine stressors.

However, if achieving that level of financial status comes at the cost of all of the free time required to indulge in these activities, then what is the point?
