I feel like this is basic economics... money, like most things, has diminishing marginal utility.

From a common sense standpoint, it's not so much that having money makes you happy, but having to worry about money definitely can make you unhappy.

Probably bad analogy: Eating a meal that I'd rate 9/10 doesn't make me much happier than a meal that's 8/10, but having to worry about whether I'm going to be able to eat today at all would definitely make me sad.
