It depends upon which side of 'usury' you are, doesn't it?
Or does it?
Disconnection from usury would be removing the 'money' dependance, and love would surely replace that? Not!
Love can contain usury too!
So, self-abaitment.... removal of both - does that lead to happiness, or is it assumed one or t'other of money or love are successful in measuring happiness?

The original question makes the presumptive error that you can't have both.
You can.

Just kidding
