Happiness all depends on the individual. If you're happy that's wonderful. Right now at this EXACT moment in my life, I am simply content... but I know where I am going and the road I am taking with my life. I went through some tragedies that makes me appreciate the good that I currently have, and the opportunities that I will soon achieve in my life. If I could be content making $10 at a assembly line, then I can be CONTENT doing anything. I feel like a rich person, since I have the power to quit my current job for a few months too, and not worry about my finances. And I will leave it for my next career opportunity, which would be learning and operating a million-dollar industry in a field I will enjoy. But I won't be 100% happy, maybe 50% happy and 50% still hungry for my own business. But definitely not only content, since I am learning and growing as a person.
To be 100% in a general state of happiness, in all honesty, I would need to weigh 110 lbs/plastic surgery (for self-esteem, and I am working on this), own/operate a franchise bringing in millions a year (so I'll feel successful), have a small group of true friends for social contact, have a loving and healthy relationship with a minimum 6'0 ft and intelligent and general good-looking clean and compatible man who has equal ambitions and makes decent money so I don't feel like I am supporting him but can equally contribute to our wealth together, feel like I have total financial freedom to do whatever I want whenever I want, have at least a bachelor degree by 26 (even though it's not high up in my list I still want to feel accomplish in this aspect after I get my job training). And have a little bit of fame, be it in Forbes magazine or just in the industry that I am working at, but at least I left a mark on the planet (but this is low down the list, but it will be 5% happiness).
And material goods that I would want that would be trophy items. A nice little cottage in the woods, with deers and rabbits all around, and surrounded by birds tweeting. A nice running car. No debt, and pure profits. And I'll bake a pie, since I have free time to do so to celebrate my life. And I'll believe in God a little bit more, and go to church more often.
And that will make me happy. At least I hope so.
So I guess owning a million-dollar corporation isn't going to make me happy, but the people and the lifestyle I live will. But money sure does help.
