You are unhappy not because you don't have money, but because you are not accepting yourself.
Chasing money makes this problem worse, because you believe that to accept yourself you need to work for it. And the more you work, the more you need to work. There's no end to this pursuit and it never leads to happiness.
"But rich guys are happy!"
How many rich guys do you personally know?
I know many. Some of them are happy, but some are not. Guess which ones are happy.
