Happiness is more important than money any day
~Jack White
Another quotation on money and happiness.
“Happiness, not gold or prestige, is the ultimate currency.”

You can get unlimited happiness if you choose to work as per your interest.

But hacking is a great deal because you will earn name, fame, superiority, ordinarily and much more along with money.
