Why are you excluding happiness from being rich?
This all sounds like a poor man's excuse for not working hard enough.
People strive for the most comfortable life, just like you. That is achieved with money. Because you need it for anything comfortable. Happiness is not a one way street with fun on one end and money on the other. You can easily achieve both and you will be happier for it.
Is a man who has a great job, no money worries, friends and family not happier than a poor man with the same?
Isn't a man without friends and family but money happier than a poor man without friends and family?
If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.
