I found a great article here.
I really enjoyed it - I hope others do too... A salient reminder to spend some time to discover what we really want in life, in the absence of marketing and other influences. At the end of the day I find my own desires getting simpler and easier to satisfy in the main. Well worth some effort to work it out properly rather than let others work it out for you by default.
The reality seems to be that beyond a reasonable level of comfort, the ability of money alone to bring more happiness diminishes rapidly. Other than providing some way of keeping score of course!
