Does Money Equal Happiness?

I'm giving you a lot of latitude with today's topic, "Money."  In one way shape or form, think about how money affects your life, your future, your social clique.  I'll offer a few things to think about to get you started:

According to http://www.finaid.org/loans/, the average student loan debt for a four-year degree is just under $30,000.  But wait, calculate an average of seven percent interest on a ten-year loan and you're talking about repaying $41,799.05 at $348.33/month.  Can you make the monthly payments?

I'm curious to hear how money (or lack there of) affects your high school social life or even extra curricular activities.  Now obviously you can spare me the details, but are there activities that are just not possible because of financial constraints?

Is working a minimal-wage job during high school worth the time?

Okay, how much money do you need right now to meet your "wish list"?  How long would you be content?

Anything else?
