Money doesn't matter as long as you have enough. And most people eventually figure out that it isn't 'stuff' that makes them happy.
I carried on working too long...because I was putting a bit more 'wool on my back' every year, when in fact I have enough wool, more than I am likely to have time to enjoy provided we are not needlessly extravagant.
I was surprised by the results of the 'test' though, which I don't understand. I put in our guaranteed household income (currently about £15,000) and it put me somewhere around the 90th percentile.
But I have always felt well off, even when I wasn't, because I have almost never had any debt other than the long-gone mortgage. It puzzles me that people want to spend money they haven't earned yet, to feel richer, while making themselves poorer.
