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

I must be the exception.  ;D
So so many toys....and in a position to offer such good ones at costs we once never thought possible.
Nominal Animal:
I used to afford to buy all the toys I wanted when I ran a business, and spent quite a coin on software too.. but it really wasn't for me.
So, now I am piss poor again, and much happier.  I did lose my ability to handle any kind of stress at all, though, and that's much, much worse.

Money, toys.. nah.  Do take care of your body and mind, people.  You really don't want to lose those.
coppice:
Being a student didn't break it. It took pointless soul destroying work to do that. Then I got out of that kind of work, and things improved.

This is down to our human condition I think.
When we want something and can't get it, we get frustrated, but that gives us motivation to get the thing we don't have.
When getting what we want becomes much easier, we get instant gratification, but that wears off very quickly, and after that we feel "empty" again.
Probably just all comes from our "hunter" nature.
