I don't feel strongly positively or negatively about Woz, but I agree with his message that, to the extent that life is about collecting anything, it is about collecting happiness points rather than money points. (Having said that, money does a very good job of taking away obstacles that get in the way of happiness.)

Everytime i check there is a level where more money goes from a significant factor in happyness to a small one - that level is around the poverty line, sometimes less depending on the study.

Yes but if he kept the money and just invested it, he'd have many millions more to give away, indefinitely.

And if he kept THAT money, he'd be able to invest even more and have even more to give away! But wait, if he kept THAT money...

And then he realizes he's near the top of the high score board. Just a bit more money and he'll definitely start giving it away...
