It's sounds vain, but money is probably one of the most important things.
At my (our ?) level it's more a luxury of early retirement, but I had a friend who could never afford to move out. Her parents were pretty bad to her to say the least. She was stuck in a pattern of dating guys, moving in with them, getting kicked out and retreating to her parents.
Unfortunately agreed. Money can't buy happiness, but it sure greases the wheels. Money opens up opportunities and possibilities that you just aren't going to have without it.
And not having money is a great way to suffer at least low-grade anxiety on a regular basis. Or a great way to actually be destitute.
Yeah. Money is something that doesn't necessarily bring you happiness, but lack of which would almost surely bring sorrow. I heard some people can live happily without money, but I don't know any of them.

As I told her money gives you options...
