If you were suddenly unable to meet your basic needs, and either had to go into debt to buy food or rely on public assistance, would you be likely to be more or less happy than you are now?
A follow-up from my last question, since people seem to want to view the money vs happiness question from their current standing- i.e. additive instead of subtractive. Clearly, those that are currently living a lavish lifestyle would have a less effusively positive result to being handed a million bucks than a single mom raising 3 kids on a Wal-mart salary. For those that fit into the first category, imagine someone replacing your annual Meditteranean wine country tour with a couple extra shifts at I-Hop.
