Yup.
If you look at table 3, which is a study of the museum going group, you can actually see that SWB (subjective well being) is mostly correlated with household income and material affluence. However in table 3a, we can see that SWB is negatively correlated with material striving.
In other words, people who are concentrated on making money are the people who don't have money and are also unhappy.
People who value time are the people who already have money and don't have to worry about it.
The conclusion I would make from this is that the more money, and implicitly more time freedom you have, the happier you are. If you are trying to make money but don't have any, you're not happy.
