Intuitively it makes sense to me. I can see how someone who makes 160K might feel a bit better about himself than someone who makes 80K, but that's not really happiness is it? It's some kind of contentment. And how much happier is he? He makes 2x as much so he's 2x happier? Obviously the correlation more money = more happiness isn't strong and declines after a certain amount.
