Zusammenfassung:Four repeatable findings have emerged regarding the relation between income and subjective well-being (SWB). These findings show that more money may enhance SWB when it means avoiding poverty and living in a developed nation, but income appears to increase SWB little over the long-term when more of it is gained by well-off individuals whose material desires rise with their incomes. Diener and Biswas-Diener discuss these issues.
