In a world chasing infinite growth, the question of how much money one needs to be happy is complex. Research suggests that happiness plateaus at a certain income level, around $75K-$100K annually in the U.S., enough to cover needs and some wants. Beyond that, it's less about the money and more about how you spend it—experiences over things, time over overtime. True wealth lies in relationships, health, and purpose. So, while money can buy comfort, it can't buy happiness. Balance is key. 💡💸
