Sky,
You know that most people would take the million and find a way to make themselves happy in a new home. But your general point is valid -- the only reason money has value is that it can contribute to a happy life. That's why it's hard to convince airline pilot wannabees to give up the dream and take that lucrative cop or fireman job instead. They are sure they won't be happy on the ground, because they would always wonder "What if...?" They will just have to try it, as you did, and then they'll know -- one way or the other.
