"It is a myth to believe that 'If I only had a little more - - or a lot more! -- money than I'd be happy. Unless you have a balanced "relationship" to money, having a little more money just might make you more unbalanced and miserable. Spenders will overspend more wildly, avoiders feel more anxious, money monks more conflicted, hoarders will save more compulsively. So the goal is to move toward money harmony, not merely to amass more money."  Olivia Mellan
