Happiness, is defined differently by everybody and when some, assume they should become happy, they do not.
People often assume if they are rich they will become happy and spend all their efforts, trying to achieve that goal, whilst enduring great hardship, participating in things they don't enjoy.
Although sometimes we have to understand that to be even mildly happy, is an achievement, our problem is we want to be happy all the time. Human nature, our nature, is not to be happy at all times. You may only achieve a few periods in life when you feel happy, as the mind adapts to your new found reality, you will experience that emptiness again. That's just our biological makeup unfortunately.
Happiness is temporary, it doesn't last forever, its has so many precipitating factors and is never perpetual... If you achieve some of your goals in life you will experience great natural happiness for a small moment.
If you asking while you feel sad all the time, this may also be to do with your surroundings, if your around ass holes expect it. Many western countries have mass wealth distribution problems, the Baby Boomers hold all the wealth. The housing stock etc, have manipulated to their own ends and therefore you as a Millennial will pay the price for their greed. For example after the war, Baby boomers in the Uk started to take women's wages into account for buying houses, yea i'm all equality however really it just made them more expensive for their children. what we need is some sort of system where people just cant horde tons of wealth. Why does Amazon need so many Billions? Amazon is like a cancer of the world undercutting every small business while paying little tax while taking on no risk.....? These companies cannot carry on otherwise we will walk down the street and see nothing. This is globalisation.
If the UK if you tried opened a small eCommerce businesses, you would have to pay tax, so the playing field is far from level, you would have to do something pretty revolutionary to even get a look in while breaking several laws.
So i guess people are also sad, as they know there life is somewhat, or almost entirely controlled.
However then there the other perspective, you could find ways to enter into different markets and then even stoke up demand yourself.
