There is nothing wrong with wanting more.The problem is that more won't make you happy because after that particular "more" there will be different "more". So you should strive for better while at the same time learn to appreciate what you have currently(stoicism,negative visualisation) and understand that you do have a lot right now.So it is really stupid to strive to be rich.It is all about approach and mental game.If you need more money that is fine,but don't go for being rich.Rich is also very subjective term.
