Maybe a better question would be what would you be willing to sacrifice to be happy.

Ah now that's more up my street.
Replace Happiness with Success in the poll.
For happiness I would sacrifice:
Success
Comfort
Pride
Money
What I would not sacrifice:
Reputation - no. I worry too much about what other people think, and it would eat at my happiness if I was thought to be something I'm not, or despised for who I am.
Honour - no. It's a slightly outdated concept, but I have a baseline of how I expect myself to behave and couldn't be happy if I'd crossed it.
Health - be careful what you wish for. If I knew the terms, then maybe. Ten years of happiness and then death would be fine. A long lingering illness that affected my family would not.
Love - never. I wouldn't give up love for success, for happiness, for money. I'd rather love and be loved than anything else on earth.
