Happiness isn't solely tied to a number in your bank account, but financial stability can certainly contribute to peace of mind. Research suggests that while a certain level of income can improve life satisfaction, beyond about $75,000 annually, the impact of additional income on happiness plateaus. It's less about the amount & more about how you manage it, focusing on experiences, security & freedom. Remember, happiness is multifaceted, and wealth is just one piece of the puzzle!
