I’m happiness is also common among the rich because they are under increased pressure to be happy. One feels guilty for being ungrateful, for not fully appreciating his love in life. More over because we cannot find a good reason for being unhappy, he blames himself for his predicament and feels inadequate. The pressure to be happy, the feelings of guilt Inadequacy in the face of negative emotions, lead to further unhappy and many others in our material world to recognize that emotions are largely indifferent material.

One of human nature's most reliable ways of sabotaging joy is to look out at a beautiful scene and fix on the one thing that's missing or wrong, however small. — Enjoy the Flight (Living/Balance/Happiness/Passion)
