“Conventional wisdom suggests that “money can’t buy you happiness.” And well-known research from 2010 had shown that people tend to feel happier the more money they make only up until a point of about $75,000 a year.
But according to a new study out of University of Pennsylvania’s The Wharton School, people’s well-being rises with the amount of money they make, even beyond $75,000.
Money affords people autonomy to make choices about how they live their lives, Matthew Killingsworth, study author and senior fellow at Wharton, who studies human happiness, said in a release.”

For all you people saying money isn’t important, if given a choice to have 10k more income a year or not, would you turn that down? How about an extra 50k a year? What? No? So you’re saying you WOULD want more money? Why? But I thought you said money won’t make you any happier, so why not just say no?
So tired of people trying to shove “money isn’t important” and it’s all about “thinking positive” and “it’s all about your mentality” shit.
For all you people saying money isn’t important, you try living on 20k a year.

20K is a tough number to live on. I hope this helps:
It matters. Money does matter. When I did not have enough money I did not eat enough, was often cold, and could not buy and get most of the services I needed. I finally made a crucial decision (many years ago) to take a job that would pay pretty well, but more importantly, put some real value in my resume, but put me in stresses that were quite heavy, but those stresses were never as heavy as being low on funds.
That resume fodder worked wonders for me for close to twenty years and then I had to choose again between earning enough or taking a high stress job. Once again I found having the high stress job 40 hours a week was better than having a high stress life 168 hours a week. I found things I liked about the job and kept it for 11 years but when I saw the chance to leave it for something of lower stress and decent pay I sure did move on.
Back to the start. Money does matter and it matters a lot. In fact the only time money doesn’t matter is when you have plenty of it.
Living on too little money is a hard life. For those who will sell their ethics for money, for much or little, that is a hard life. Somewhere in the middle is a good thing. I hope this helps.
