I know that you're done with this thread after a few replies, but you probably didn't even need to post it in the first place. Unless you wanted a soundboard. And there is nothing wrong with that.
"Happy"
A lot of people struggle with the balance between happiness and making ends meet. it sounds like you're conquering both. Hell, a great deal of people don't even have the chance to weigh their happiness against their earning potential.
Keep being happy. Keep making a nice living.
More isn't always better. And there is not such thing as 'happier'.
