“Money can’t buy happiness” - Richard Branson

“You have succeeded in life when all you really want is only what you really need.” - Vernon Howard

I am sure all the people who are homeless because they do not have money would agree with my statement.

He reads like saying that you are a success when the only thing you want is that which you do not have.

What he MEANS to say is "You are a success when you only want the bare minimum, that which you need to live, and do not covet excess".
