Of course you can. For a lot people the good life is a nice family, nice holidays, not being stressed. For that you require money. Otherwise you might end up in a tiny apartment, eating cheap food, feeling quite stressed.
No. Having a nice family, nice holidays, and not being stressed do not require money. Furthermore, your counterexample of a tiny apartment and cheap food don't actually contrast your definition of the good life. You can have a nice family, nice holidays, and not be stressed while living in a tiny apartment and eating cheap food. A lot of people do so every day, all around the world.
