I don't mind as well :), however I guess there's a certain threshold that once passed, doesn't really add to happiness anymore. I think I came across a research before (around 2010, survey done in the USA). Those that earn more than 38k usd/year did not exhibit happier lives. In fact, it diminishes after a certain point when there are too many options available when purchasing power enables such a scenario. Paralysis in making choices..
