The study says the very wealthy are happier than those with lower levels of wealth:
"Taken together, these results suggest that, among millionaires, wealth may be likely to pay off in greater happiness only at very high levels of wealth, and when that wealth was earned rather than inherited."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Postal_Clause
Article I, Section 8, Clause 7 of the United States Constitution, known as the Postal Clause or the Postal Power, empowers Congress "To establish Post Offices and post Roads".[1]
The Postal Clause was added to the Constitution to facilitate interstate communication as well as to create a source of revenue for the early United States.[2][3] There were some early disagreements as to the boundaries of the Postal Power. John Jay, in a letter to George Washington, opined that the postal service should not be burdened with the responsibility for handling newspaper delivery, and also suggested that the Post Office be placed under the supervision of the executive branch (a suggestion which later led to the creation of the Post Office Department).[4] Thomas Jefferson feared that the postal service would become a source of patronage and a waste of money. Jefferson also expressed doubt at granting Congress the power to designate post roads, as he considered road building to be a state responsibility.[5]

Hello A-Moose,
LOL!
What good is money if you don't use it to buy lots of things? Houses, yachts, planes, investments, elite memberships.
But then you have to worry about all the things you have. Is everything being taken care of properly? Whoops! Now, all of a sudden you got a lotta stress.
The individual with far less, but still plenty to have the needs covered is not so burdened, freed up to be happier and enjoy the simpler things in life.
