The distinction is that past a certain level of material wealth - I have seen reference in a few places to ~U$15000/yr - human happiness does not increase with increased material wealth. After that it only matters that you have more than other people do.

Happiness≠comfort and luxury.
Quote:
Even in the US, $15K should (at least could) cover providing them at a comfortable, if not luxurious, level.

FWIW I live in that location at that income level and I'm happy; so, yeah.
