For a long time my parents were doing decent financially, but had "money problems" that they would argue about. Then within the last 5 years my parents have created a business and it's doing quite well. There aren't any more fights over money issues, but that doesn't mean that they don't still fight with each other.

I know some pretty rich people who are genuinely happy so I think the whole rich=miserable stereotype is a myth. The poor may be more appreciative of small things because they deal in small financial circles, so small things are a bigger deal to them. That's not to say that they understand the value of what they buy moreso than a wealthy person. I think the richest people are more aware of the value of what they buy than anyone. Look at Warren Buffet, the 2nd richest guy in the world. He got where he is today because he understands the value of a dollar on a grand scale... probably more than anyone.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess that you meant "content."
