You get significantly diminishing margin returns (where utility=happiness) after 100k/yr income.


I disagree. I think that is a very linear view of (money = happiness) and it doesn't include the 'real life' factor.

Reality = Stay-at-home Wife. Kids. Education. Retirement Goals. et. al.


Am I confused? That's the whole point. (Money, happiness) correlation is only linear to an extent.
