Data shows happiness gap between wealthy and middle-income people wider than between middle- and low-income ones.
I’ve always thought the most important delineator was to have enough money that you don’t need to worry about money. I’m sure that line is somewhere between the middle income group and the wealthy. Those middle income people are definitely still worried about expenses.
A friend and I were talking and they mentioned different levels of “worry about money”. First level is that you don’t really worry about grocery costs. Second is you don’t worry about the price of a meal out. Third is you don’t worry about the cost of vacation. Fourth is you don’t worry about the cost of luxury.
People who don’t have to worry about money, one of the biggest stressors in the average persons life, are happier?

money can’t buy you happiness but it can prevent and alleviate a whole lot of suffering.
it really can’t but personally I will take no suffering over an equal amount of suffering and joy.
Do you know what thread you’re commenting on?
Food can fill your belly. Drink can quench your thirst. Money can buy you happiness. All of these are true.
You are simply indoctrinated by the propaganda of the rich.
Who knew!?
If you can’t buy happiness you can certainly buy your way out of a lot of unhappiness.
