RE: There is no connection between wealth and happiness - A True Story

in #life6 years ago

Money past a certain point doesn't buy more happiness, but money under a certain level proves to avoid the sadness that comes from living a life of constant want. Based on studies I think the level is as high as $70,000 a year for Americans, for example, where it starts to have less of an affect over that.

Sort:  

That $70k a year is a movable target. $70k where I live is great but not so great in say California or New York. I think one of the biggest issues is living within your means. And sometimes the job that pays the most isn't worth the stress it adds. Being paid for doing something you like and/or around people you like makes life a little easier to enjoy.
