I wonder if the person driving that BMW is necessarily happier than that person driving the 20 year old Chevy. Can the person who earns $30,000 per year be happier than the person who earns $100,000 per year?

Living within your means is a part of it, but so is being happy with your lot in life. After all you could live within your means but always aspire to that BMW, knowing that you'll never afford it, and be miserable. Or, you could accept that you'll only ever have a Chevy and save for the day it might break down and be happy with what you have.
Real happiness is in love and hope, not in money and material things.

Real happiness is contentment, because really happiness doesn't exist for many people. You can't have everything. But if you have low standards, happiness comes easier.
