They think happiness and living well is a zero sum game, meaning that for one person to be happy another has to be miserable.
To be fair that's kind of true under capitalism.
Don’t buy into the lie. Most happiness grows when shared. It’s important to have enough, but no material goods bring nearly as much happiness as the joys of other people
The key word is "enough". Most people in the world spend the majority of their lives working to make money for someone else in order to put food on the table.
More money means more time available to spend with their loved ones, from which happiness is derived as you say.
