The price of happiness?
September 7, 2010
Happiness is yours–with a salary of $75,000 US, says a study from Princeton. After that, your day to day happiness tends to plateau (although it should be mentioned that when you make more than $75Gs your sense of satisfaction with your success or wellbeing does rise).

It’s interesting the study notes day-to-day happiness doesn’t improve beyond a certain point. It also says people are happier on weekends — isn’t this true for most people, regardless of their income? Although, I’d be happy to be paid a higher salary to find out for sure

Yes, I agree about the weekend thing. And I, too, would totally be up taking part in the study to test out how much happiness a higher salary translate into!

How do you think we can sign up as study participants?
