A new study reveals that money can indeed buy happiness, with a strong correlation between higher income and higher levels of satisfaction. The study shows that:
• Millionaires and billionaires: Satisfaction index of 6/7
• Middle-income individuals: Satisfaction index of 4.6
• Lower-income individuals: Satisfaction index of 4.1
Interestingly, while previous studies suggested a happiness plateau at $75,000 annually (2010), this new research indicates the plateau now occurs at $500,000.
So, is there truly a limit to happiness as income rises? We see examples of wealthy individuals who aren’t happy, and those with lower incomes who are content and fulfilled.
