I saw graphs that proved happiness causes money. What did you see?

disclaimer: I am trying to be snide on the internet. What I mean to say is that I was confused by the use of the word "cause".



I see graphs that proved that being born into a financially well-off family with access to good education might have something to do with factors involved in the graph.

(Appreciated your humor. Am attempting a mildly humorous speculation about a plausible cause for both factors. It's probably less humorous than I think it is, but as someone lacking skill in humor, I overestimate my own hilarity.)
