Money can't buy happiness but it can buy this:
Once income passes a certain level relative to your cost of living, happiness stops scaling with it. Another $1,000 or $10,000 a year doesn't make your days better.
What money does buy is a buffer against stress - specifically services. Help with cleaning, babysitting, a night nurse so you actually sleep while someone else handles the 3am wake-up.
Money can't buy happiness. It can offset what's draining you.
