Their sample size is too small: plainly some very rich people are unhappy, but they eluded these surveys. The finding seems so robust that at any given level of income, the best single way to make you happier is to give you more money.

他们的样本规模太小：一些非常富有的人显然并不幸福，但他们没有被纳入调查。在任何既定收入水平上，让人们变得更为幸福的最佳方法就是给他们更多的钱，这个发现看上去如此有力。

There are also signs, from what is still very limited data, that growing wealth tends to make nations happier – and the reverse. Americans grew far less happy once their economy slipped into a severe recession in 2008. And people in rich countries are happier than in poor.

还有一些来自仍然非常有限的数据的迹象表明，一国财富的日益增加往往会让这个国家更幸福，反之亦然。2008年，当美国经济陷入严重衰退时，美国人似乎变得远没有原来幸福。而且富国的人们要比穷国的人们更幸福。

If there is anything surprising here, it is that wealth is more important to happiness than many would expect, not less. The simpler and less complicated lives in poorer countries do not compensate for the money that can be made for people living more complicated and stressful lives in more successful economies. And Mr Wolfers even points to surveys suggesting that we do not, collectively, feel a need to compete against the Joneses. People do not measure themselves against others.
