I saw research that found people do find greater true life satisfaction with more money, but, up to only about $250,000. After that, money doesn't do the trick any more. Success in life, as reported to me by thousands of dying people while I was hospice nursing, is related almost completely to family in some way. That success does not entail having family around you, just that we have known family love sometime in our lives.

Gratification
noun

a generation that has come to demand instant gratification SATISFACTION, fulfillment, indulgence, relief, appeasement; pleasure, enjoyment, relish.

Gratification is the positive emotional response (HAPPINESS) to a fulfillment of desire.
Maturity is often defined as the ability to delay gratification (patience).
Western culture is sometimes criticized for its emphasis on instant gratification, i.e., the conscious expenditure of effort to make the time interval between wanting something and getting it as short as possible. This focus may be due in part to the influence of utilitarianism, the consequentialist belief that morality can be measured by the overall yield of happiness (utility) that results from a particular action. One example of a significant influence of this theory is the importance of cost-benefit analysis in Western economic theory.

Happiness

Happiness is an emotional or affective state that is characterized by feelings of enjoyment and satisfaction. As a state and a subject, it has been pursued and commented on extensively throughout world history. This reflects the universal importance that humans place on happiness.

Happiness and economics

There is a recent trend in economics which relates happiness to economic performance and vice-versa. Some studies suggest that happiness is already an economic indicator or at least can be approximately measured. New economic concepts could now be measured such as the Gross national happiness and the Happy Planet Index. Happy Life Years, a concept brought by Dutch sociologist Ruut Veenhoven is one of the concepts set to measure well-being combining subjective data (subjective life satisfaction, measured on a scale of 0 to 10) with objective data (life expectancy). New Economics Foundation, a British think-tank used this concept to measure the "Happy Planet Index".
On the other hand, a few researchers argue that a bigger economy doesn't always buy happiness. It is argued that happiness could be used as an economic indicator not as a replacement for more traditional measures but as a supplement.

The satisfaction level of human being are like parallel lines or railway tracks that never meet. Even if all the desires are met, we get newer and more complex desires, to take their place.

at minimum where all the needs are met and perhaps the majority of the wants. There's no way human being can obtain everything he/she wants cuz the wanting part never ends
