I remember reading somewhere about a study a couple years back that found that people who made below $50k USD / year (and living in the US) could see definite improvements in their overall 'emotional well being' by increasing their income. But after $50k the effect disappears and people no longer benefit, emotionally, from having more money.

I'm sure since then inflation and social issues will have most definitely caused the $50k mark to rise.

Edit: my general opinion is that money can not buy happiness, but a lack of money can certainly contribute to unhappiness.
