Interesting article. In the past I have read articles on the topic of "happiness" that instead of being based on net worth, were based on annual Salary. I have read from more than one source that the happiness level is around $75,000/year. Obviously for high income people, $75k might seem to be on the level of poverty, but for most of us, this would be a salary level where we can keep our bills paid up and make substantial investments into IRA's and 401K and take care of our family without "life passing us by."
