But the question is like the old red herring statement:
Carrots kill people. George Washing ate carrots and he is dead. Abe Lincoln ate carrots and he is dead. JFK ate carrots and he is dead.
Do carrots kill? No more than money can make you happy. The two are irrelevant.

BUT, if you can't meet your basic needs and health care money makes a huge difference in happiness. Above that level it won't buy you anymore happiness.
