Money was one small part of my point. And you, like the other poster, are arguing against a strawman.
I already addressed the issue of basic needs. I also made no claim as to whether more money makes people happier on average. It very well might—as you point out, there are conflicting studies on this so I don’t know if there’s conclusive evidence either way.
My point was only that money (like any other advantage one can have in life) doesn’t make everyone happy, and so there is no guarantee it will make any particular person happy if they get it.
Neither you or the other poster have addressed this point whatsoever, rather arguing against something I didn’t even say.
