So the additional income is "nice", but wouldn't that mean it is improving your wellbeing? Removing the extra income would reduce your happiness, would it not?

Not necessarily. That the additional income is “nice” means that you personally think it has improved your wellbeing, not that it has.

I might think that bacon makes me feel happier, until I need a bypass 10 years later.

Fair enough. Re-reading your comment now and I understand your point better.
