Can money buy happiness this guy Nobel prizewinning Economist Daniel conoman looked at how much money you need to be happy he found the magic happiness number was $75,000 that’s us that much money lets you pay for your basic needs after that happiness plateaus but then Matt Killingsworth a professor from the
University of Pennsylvania he came along with a different study and he found nope it’s not $75,000 happiness doesn’t Plateau there the more money you make the happier you get so who’s right well they didn’t have like an academic researcher happiness Smackdown what they did was they got together went back over
All the data and they found Killingsworth got it more right it’s because more money can give you more control if your car breaks down you can get it fixed do we finally have an answer money can buy happiness not exactly when researchers dig into what really makes us happy what they find is
It’s other people it’s relationships it’s your friends it’s your family maybe the answer’s been there the whole time and who knew it the Beatles
Research shows your income may boost emotional well-being more than we thought. Paul Haavardsrud, host of CBC’s Cost Of Living, breaks it down.

As with many things, it's a bit subjective. Some people value money in a way where spending = happiness.
So …how much do I need to make? Lol
"The secret to happiness is low expectations." — Barry Schwartz
I'd say more money would make me happier. The ability to stop working so I can spend time with people i like, go places and do things i want to do would definitely make me happier. That's not so much a number value but a lifestyle improvement that requires excessive wealth.

Unless all the other people in your life are as desperate as you are

Money cannot buy you happiness, it does buy you a better class of enemy
Yes
True happiness comes from within by going without. True wealth is the ability to be happy with what one has not with what one wants.
Sure. Money can buy happiness, more money can buy more happiness. Except that someone else has money paid for your happiness. ???
money cant buy happiness but you can rent it
Id be happy with 75k in a 3rd world country and have no bills.
Your only friend is a buck, and the more bucks you got, the more friends you got.
