In the quest for happiness, the magic number isn't universal. Studies suggest around $75,000/year can boost well-being, covering basic needs and some desires. Beyond that, happiness plateaus as experiences, relationships, and purpose take the front seat. Money can buy comfort, but not joy. It's the memories we create, the bonds we nurture, and passions we pursue that truly enrich our lives. So, while money matters, it's not the full story. Balance is key. 🌟
