Interesting perspective

The comment about not knowing which way causality runs on the correlation between happiness and wealth is overstated. You don't find many happy people getting evicted or foreclosed on after they are laid off.

I agree with you that it could use a qualifier there. That said, given how often the opposite sentiment of money will make you happy is thrown around even among the wealthy, I don't think it ruins the article.
