Money doesn’t directly buy happiness. It does buy security and pretty much anything else you could want that doesn’t involve actual magic. Which means instead of spending a big chunk of your life worrying about not starving or dying of exposure or whatever, you can devote more of your abundant resources to pursuing happiness. Ask billionaires to subsist on a measly $100,000.00 per year (which is apparently the cutoff where more money actually doesn’t buy more happiness because at that point it becomes an end in itself or something) and they’ll act like you ate their puppy.

Yes, every study on this finds that money does substantially increase happiness up to a certain level, and then it levels off abruptly. It's different for each country (the US is considerably higher than most because of medical bill fears) but same basic principle.

Yes, exactly. Being a millionaire wouldn't cure my depression, but I wouldn't have to worry about losing my job, my healthcare insurance, my house, etc. I could live as comfortably as I could wish with someone else to cook and clean for me, so I'd still be eating properly and not living in a messy house - both not great for depression. I wouldn't have to worry about whether or not I could afford medication and/or therapy. If I got sick, there'd be no question of my being able to access excellent healthcare and still have enough to live on while I recovered or got treatment. I could get dog. Hell, TWO dogs, and not worry about what would happen if THEY got sick and if I could afford high vet bills. The list goes on and on...
