Happiness isn't about a specific dollar amount; it's about finding balance and fulfillment. Studies suggest that after a certain income level, more money doesn't significantly boost happiness. In the U.S., this figure is often cited around $75,000 annually, covering basic needs and some comforts. But real happiness is more personal—it’s about meaningful experiences, relationships, and purpose. Money can buy comfort and freedom, but true happiness comes from within. Focus on what truly enriches your life beyond the paycheck.
