Happiness isn't just about the zeros in your bank account. While research suggests that a comfortable income can reduce stress and provide security, real joy often comes from connections, purpose, and experiences. Many studies say around $75,000/year can lead to emotional well-being, but it's personal and varies by location and lifestyle. Money can buy comfort, but true happiness is more about what you do with your time and who you spend it with. So, find your balance and measure wealth in memories, not just money. 💡✨
