How does money affect happiness?

            The question I am using as my critical question is how does money affect happiness.  I decided to use this question because it is something that almost everyone has an opinion on and could answer in there own way.  For my profile I am going to use a wealthy man.  I chose them because if money affects happiness then they have plenty of money and should be happy all the time.  By using this person it will shed light on my question in terms of the actual answer.  It will be someone on one end of the spectrum and will give me an idea if the question is true or not.  I will specifically study the aspects of his happiness well at work and how much he enjoys his job.  Also if throughout his day he ever has to question use of money and just his job relations with his other workers.  The person I am doing knows my dad, I do not hardly know them at all maybe have met them once or twice.  To contact them I had my dad send me their phone number and I called them for my observation and interview.
