Material well being steadily increases happiness to 100k approximately, knowing you could get fired and still have enough savings etc. to keep your lifestyle up for a long time is very securing and not having to worry about bills etc. Can be a big relief. And if you are paycheck to paycheck you might not even have time/ energy or a good enough job to be able to hang out with friends.
Without any material you're out sleeping on the street without any belongings or possession and have to ride the bus everywhere.
And if you're introverted you dont really need friends or socializing regularly to maintain your energy.
