The age-old question: how much money do you need to be happy? Research suggests that happiness doesn't exponentially grow with income. A 2018 Purdue study found that life satisfaction peaks between $60,000-$75,000 annually. Beyond that, more money might only bring marginal gains in happiness and, surprisingly, even stress. The key? Financial security, not extravagance. It's about having enough to cover needs, save a bit, and enjoy occasional indulgences. So, while money can buy comfort, true happiness thrives on relationships, purpose, and experiences. 💸😊
