Money Buys Happiness, Even if You’re Already Rich
4th October 2024
Wall Street Journal.
An academic paper in 2010 popularized $75,000 as the salary threshold beyond which earning more money didn’t make people any happier. More recent research indicates that there is no such plateau.
Indeed there is not. There is no such thing as having too much money, unless maybe you’re Barack Obama (and I don’t see him giving any of it back, or sending it on to the IRS).
Anybody who says (or thinks) money doesn’t buy happiness is a pea-brain.
