In my experience, increases in money stop correlating directly with increases in happiness when you reach the point where you have a roof over your head, decent wheels, no 9-5 grind job working for an asshole boss, and a nice nest egg. It helped mostly by removing the stress I used to feel over where the rent money or food money was coming from etc.
Past that point tho.. does having a $80k car to get from A to B really make you happier than a $15k car? Maybe for a moment or two, but it never lasts, and there is always something better that you don't have. Same thing with houses & portfolio's and shit. It can start to become an obstacle to happiness then.
So if you have wheels, a roof, no job, and some security, and your still not happy, its probably time to realize the problem is with you, not your bank account.
Keeping things in perspective is the most important thing.
