Now when you have all toys are you happier than when you were a broken student?

A checked goal only gives happiness for a moment.
The fun is in the journey, not in the destination.
Try a new goal, maybe get a new hobby.
Something doable, but not trivial.
RAPo:
I buy toys (prefer tools) that I couldn't afford then but can afford now. To own them gives a good feeling.
That, however, is not related to happiness. When I was younger, I had more energy and dreams of accomplishing things.
At sixty, I have less energy, less dreams, but the onlook of a few years to live.
I want to fill those years with things that make me happy.
Psi:
Time but no money.
Then
Money but no time.

I still don't have that many "toys". Electronic design (and software/firmware even more) requires surprisingly little physical tools, of course some. But what I have gained is a lot of knowledge and understanding how to design things and yes, that makes me happier. As a 5-year old kid my dream was to become a designer who can make those electronic circuit boards I teared apart from stuff my dad kept bringing in (thanks to him for understanding my traits and feeding them). That pretty much started to realize after age 25 or so.
I don't believe in the ideology of having a lot of lab gear. Good tools make design work easier but still most of the work is in processing information in your brain. As for other, free-time "toys", pretty much the same ideology. I don't need a fancy car, I need one that works.
