There's research to indicate that it does, once you've surpassed a certain level of wealth. I've been reading Utopia For Realists, which does a very readable job of summarizing work on the topic, and one publication cited that is available online is:

I'd also suggest Sapolsky's work on the physiological effects of poverty.
