Happiness isn't strictly about the money, but it sure can help ease life's burdens. Studies suggest that having enough to cover basic needs, experiences, and a bit of security leads to greater happiness—often around $75,000 a year for emotional well-being in the U.S. But beyond a certain point, more money doesn't equate to more happiness. It's about how you spend it: investing in experiences, personal growth, and giving back. Ultimately, happiness is personal and complex, intertwining with relationships, purpose, and health. Money is just one piece of the puzzle. 💰😊 0 reply
