I don’t do the lottery or anything but we can dream …

They've calculated, haven't they, the amount up to which money would make you happier if you had it. Can't remember what it is but it's not stacks and stacks. Beyond that, as a pp said, it doesn't make much difference. There are many things in life that cause problems. Money fixes the obvious financial ones, and extra money improves your quality of life to a point - you can buy things that make your life easier and more pleasurable. But some things are not solved by money - it won't resurrect people you love for example, or give you an incredible artistic talent, or keep your children altogether from harm's way.

If lack of money is your only problem OP, then money can fix that. But if there's anything else going on, including things that make it seem like money is the problem, it won't help.

Money cannot solve all your problems but it can make your life a hell of a lot easier.

We were extremely fortunately in getting a massive chunk of money last year due to a very generous boss.

Our mortgage is now paid off and we have a small amount of savings.

The pressure has been taken off but we are by no means rich.

It just makes life a bit easier. It's not cured my autoimmune condition but you can't have everything, can you?

It wouldn't solve mine. I have crippling arthritis.

I think with money, once you have the basics, ie, food, a roof over your head, security - then other things, "stuff" just make you happy temporarily.

They say money doesn't buy happiness but for me it would. I'm not struggling really but to be able to pay off the mortgage and have a bit saved 'in case' would definitely fix my anxiety.
