Not a direct answer but something to add.
Most people, according to social research (whatever that means in terms of scientific process), experience mostly similar happiness once they rise to an income where they are staying ahead of the bills.
This does not mean people are as happy as they think they would be if they had more income, but it is a never ending want for more. It does not matter how much more.
There is a documentary 'What Would Jesus Buy' that goes into a lot of this.
There is always a place for some jealousy and it does not ever go away. Life is not actually fair just because people pretend it is. Some people get the breaks, some people don't. I know people who made outrageous amounts of money by being in the right place at the right time. I know other people who are smart and work hard but don't seem to have hit it rich yet. Other people worked hard and took some risks and did well.
