I think it's interesting that anyone thinks event X will make them happy long term. Kids. Marriage. Money. Of course all of these things will slightly increase your happiness at least short term, but when these events happen you'll still be yourself with your same mental habits, life habits, mental outlook.
Money/kids/girlfriend wont be any good to you if you still always desire more/don't reflect on what you have/have low self eestem/always think the worst/have habits of just sitting on the computer all day. You could get the girl of your dreams then after 2 months just cannabilize yourself by only seeing the worst of her, since you've spent your whole life being pessimistic.
No one should be looking at gf/kids as a means to an end.
