atentaten··on If Money Doesn't Make You Happy Then You Probably Aren't Spending It Right [pdf]
> Some part of us instinctively understands that happiness isn't the point and can itself be counterproductive because we need some amount of unhappiness to stay motivated to do what we are actually here to do, which isn't be happy.

I don't think they are saying we're stuck in some endless loop to specifically acquire money or stuff, but that we are stuck in an endless loop to do something, whatever it may be. This could mean acquiring stuff for some, volunteering and donating for some, baking pastries or going fishing for others.

Decline in fertility rates can be attributed to external causes, not because humans fundamentally no longer want to procreate.

atentaten··on Anyone here feels like they don't build anything?
You don’t have to build anything.

Do build something from your own proclivity and inclination. Don’t feel that you have to build something to be called an engineer based on outside pressure and self-comparisons.

If You really want to build, just start. Pick small things that will make your life a little easier. Even if it seems like a silly idea, do it anyway.
