According to economic studies, money can buy happiness, up to a point. Generally, after about 80k-90k the effects of more money on happiness begins to diminish. As I recall, after about 150k more money didn't make a real difference.
With 60% of working Americans making less than 20.00 an hour {WAY less than 80k} it's no wonder folks aren't happy.
