Happiness is a deep subject and can't be described easily. It's often mixed with joy. It goes down to whether or not you have a good day or not and it's usually prefrontal cortex that tells us how we stand. If our frontal part of the brain is more directed to the right it can mean clinical depression, if it goes to the left side then it's good, good days. Good days, brain refuses to accept anything bad standing in our way. Joy is usually mixed up with happiness and stands more of a short-term station. It's usually the small things that keep people happy and it really has nothing to do with money. People are different and think differently, some people won't even interact with the lower class, which is rather idiotic. You won't go out that often and have 'fun' but most of the time it's you who will have more happiness in your life cause you can appreciate little things better. But missing money does mean missing lots of things. Alcohol has nothing to do with happiness, it's literally a drink that brings fog over your brain, you're overflowed with emotions and say lots of stupid shit.
