Happiness is not a particularly laudable goal, philosophically speaking. Nietzsche had only contempt for happiness-seeking.

Pursuit of wealth is a flawed version of the pursuit to transform oneself through creative destruction, a much better goal in Nietzsche's opinion (one I agree with). This transformation creates what he called the ubermensch... superman. This concept has been mangled beyond recognition by a parade of idiots, and has been tarred with the same brush used to condemn those idiots, but properly understood, it is a very worthwhile life philosophy.

The process is painful and miserable, and the philosophy accepts the pain and misery as part of the transformation.

I generally find Nietzsche's heuristic in this department to be correct. To the extent that somebody is a happiness-seeker, I usually find them dull, annoying and mostly ignorable. Fortunately, many self-proclaimed happiness-seekers actually have a seed of Nietzsche in them, without realizing it, and end up being interesting despite their philosophy.
