Happiness isn't just a number on a paycheck, but studies suggest there's a threshold where money can impact happiness. Around $75,000 annually in the US is often cited as the point where more money stops significantly increasing happiness. It's not the millions that bring joy, but the ability to cover basics, enjoy some comforts, and have security. Beyond that, it's about relationships, purpose, and experiences. So, while more money can offer more choices, it’s the non-material wealth that often counts the most.
