There is a lot more to life than money. And that lot more can be done, more fun can be had if there is more money.
Imagine a situation where you have steady source of Income for life. There are better, interesting, challenging and more fun things to do than sitting in a cubicle for 16 hours and slogging till your bones hurt.
What are you are saying is a typical of 'Enjoy the journey, forget the destination' kind of message.
However you can be happy with you misery. That makes you happy, but still that does mean you live in misery.Earning little, making sacrifices and then being happy about it doesn't quite actually mean you are happy, rich and comfortable.
It just means you have come to negotiation with your self that you are ok with that.
I took a pay cut a few years ago to take my current job. What I got in return for that cut was way less stress, a more fulfilling work life, more quality time at home, etc. When people say "There's more to life than money" they are talking about things you literally can't buy.
I am talking of the same thing. If you had that steady stream of incoming money you wouldn't even need your current job. You would have all the time for yourself, and more quality time for your family.
