Can't tell u how much i agree. There are weeks when I take home $8k - $12k up and months where I make over $30-40k
And a lot of those days I feel like leaving my store and driving straight into a concrete filled brick wall...
Money does not provide any sense of happiness for me.
But I'd rather be in the vette when I hit that wall... Less chance of survival lol

Although money can't buy happiness, Winning the Powerball sure would put a smile on my face (and a couple more Vettes in the garage)
I think it was the Donald who said.....
I would rather be rich and happy than poor and happy, and I would rather be rich and miserable than poor and miserable.

If I made north of $360K a year, I would not be driving a vette. Just saying.Not that they're bad cars, but seriously if I was banking that hardcore, I'd be rolling in a Ferrari or Lambo or the new McLaren

Money can't buy happiness...you rent it. It seems a bit 'strange' to publicly proclaim how much money you make. Hell, I don't even tell my wife. 
Not everyone who can afford an exotic drives one. There are extremely wealthy people who live quite modestly. They would consider owning an exotic conspicuous consumption.

Excluding car payment, let's say your total living expenses are $4500/mo. You'd pay $54k a year to eat/sleep/go to work. After one year, you'd have $300K left over, not really seeing how that doesn't warrant buying a Lambo for a hundred thousand or two hundred thousand. You could pay cash 
Still that must be nice

The wealthiest people in the world are those who are happy with whatever it is they have. I am happy with my C6 coupe. If I had a GS, same deal. Same with Z06 and ZR1 and same with my '82 Silverado if that was all I had. I am glad there there are some cars (and other stuff) that I can imagine owning yet never be in a position to actually purchase. Whatever it is you own take some healthy pride in and make it as pride worthy as you can. To me that is happiness.
