it's very simple...
once you reach the financial status at which you're able to comfortably cover the necessities of life and "then some" - (this amount is usually around 50 to 60k a year), the amount of happiness any more money than that amount can bring you, is very very small.
this is because the material possessions attained from that leftover money after your necessities are covered, never bring you true happiness. material possessions can only bring a person short term happiness. this is why there are so many shop-a-holics, people are in search for happiness and it's the only way they know how to find it. it's definitely a flawed, shallow mentality.
