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

 I was loads better off as a student,living at home with me parents ,money and time to burn on my hobbies at the time,mainly drinking to much beer,trying to get me leg over or setting fire to some of moroccos finest.Then i finished collage,earnings went up but so did the financial commitments and in reality the quality of life declined.

... broke students don't take advantage of the access they have to software and journals and books. And, generally can't afford to replicate that access as adults  :palm:

I am in general happier now than then, but it has nothing to do with the toys.  Well almost nothing.  Much more significant are a life companion, the ensuing children and much greater knowledge and understanding of life.  I will say that those starving student days were the second happiest period of my life.

- Find it on sci-hub or lg
- Go to a library
- If somehow, in some rare case the first two don't have it, sign up for a part time class, and you can usually access all of the schools resources.

There are very few people here that are doing research level electronics, most wouldn't make much use of journals. Maybe you are the exception?

  I'm not AS BROKE as I was when I was a student but I still spend too much on TE.  And yes, I would say that I'm happier now than when I was a student. I sure as hell don't worry as much about learning a skill, getting a job and making ends meet, etc, etc as I had to then.  That's all behind me now.
