Can't recall the source, but there was an article here a long while ago that basically said that basically unhappiness is not just negative happiness, it's a separate metric altogether, and that your overall mood is the combination of your happiness and unhappiness. Under that model, money is rarely good at buying happiness, but it's great at getting rid of unhappiness. Not sure how you'd describe it, but the "fuck you money" fund to me is more about peace of mind and not feeling pressured into stuff I don't want to do than it is something that makes me actively happy.
