Re: Money CAN buy happiness

[(Anonymous)]

I once read a summary of a study that found that money definitely buys happiness up to about the level of a middle class income, since below that there is going to be a lot of money-related anxiety and possible health problems due to lack of funds. It's when we get into larger amounts of money that more money does not automatically lead to more happiness.

Yeah, it's called the law of diminishing returns. Though if I were insanely wealthy, I think I'd still be pretty happy because it would mean I could do so much for my family... buy my parents a house, my siblings would each get a house and a new car, I could establish college funds for my nieces and nephews, pay for everyone to go on a big family vacation...

It seems to me the level where it stopped adding happiness was pretty high, though. At least compared to my current income. :)

Basically it would make life easier for you to live healthy, in a safe neighborhood, without crushing debts, and be able to take vacations, eat well, and stay safe.

I mean the fundamental basics really do affect a person's happiness, although they're not the only thing.

Sure, there are poor people who are happy despite their problems, but it seems gross and wrong to fetishize poverty because they "live simply and value family." Well, you can live simply and value family when you have money, too, if you make that a priority--but if you don't have money, and you lose loved ones through preventable diseases, or violence because of where you live...it's a damned sight harder to be happy.
