How Much Money Do You Need To Make To Be Happy?
Using today's cost of living of course.
Some of us live in areas that are inexpensive, and some of us live in expensive areas. Some of us have mortgages, and some of us rent, or maybe even live at home. Some of us have kids and/or pets and some of us are single. The list of variables is endless, I know, but as it's an anonymous poll you can be honest. "Happy" does not necessarily require a private jet and a fleet of sports cars, but for some, maybe it does... so let's see how the cards fall. I know the poll is in US dollars but don't let that dissuade you, just convert it to your own currency. |

Here's an interesting take on this...
A study by researchers at the University of Warwick and Cardiff University has found that money only makes people happier if it improves their social rank. The researchers found that simply being highly paid wasn't enough - to be happy, people must perceive themselves as being more highly paid than their friends and work colleagues. http://www.physorg.com/news188476624.html |

If you need money to be happy then you aren't really happy.
Now... if you need money to do the things that you really enjoy (which most of us do) that is a completely different game. A truly happy person will be happy rich or poor.

I used to make just enough money to cover the rent on my little 2 bedroom apartment, pay my bills and go out a few times a week. I think I was a lot happier back then than I am now that I make considerably more.

Enough to cover the monthly bills makes me happy. Everything else is just financial security for the future.

What is the average cost living in USA at this moment?
Including only these items: _Rent or Expenses (living on your own) _Food, and all services (phone, cell phone, internet, electricity, etc) _Gym and other activities. _Health care (in case you don't go the free way) It will be interesting to know the same for other countries like U.K., Holland or Germany. . |

New York City in da house - and WOW is it expensive! If I lived in Georgia, or Indiana, or ANYwhere else where it's less than $2200 a month for a one-bedroom apartment in Spanish Harlem and I'd be livin' like a friggin' king.
Then again, I would be living in _____ and not The Greatest Shitty in the World. So there's always that. Oh, how much? In NYC: $200,000-$300,000. ANYwhere else (mostly): $100,000 - $199,000.

 But seriously, money is great but it won't make you happy. The people who think money will make them happy are usually miserable, because nothing ever really makes them happy. They're always thinking, "well when this happens I will be happy" or "when I have this, then I will be happy".

Well as a single guy I would be happy with 100,000 after taxes
 and just as importantly, NOT working full time!!!!! 20 hours a week sounds about right lol I would rather make less and have plenty of free time to do things I like and spend time with family and friends.

With 300k I would be giving %10 of it back every year in the form of my cancer contest. %50 would be invested in mutual funds and the rest would be spent experiencing life.

Money doesn't buy happiness. It buys things that in turn make you happy.

Money means freedom, freedom surely makes people happier than stress of not beeing able to pay bills. I think money makes people happy, because they can concentrate on other things in life. But not too much of it...when you don't even know what to buy anymore, you always need some goals to achieve, when you have it all, it sucks.
I'm paying off a mortage, when its paid off and kids will be adults, I won't care how much I make, when I have enough to pay bills and travel. |

I need just enough to keep me from working in an office full of assholes, which in turn allows me to maintain my slender grip on sanity.
Money does not motivate me one bit -- its the ability to make my own hours. As long as I have that, I'm happy -- although I wouldn't turn down an opportunity to make a lot of money, unless it involved working in an office with a bunch of assholes. If I'm going to work for an asshole, it's going to be me.

People will always have problems to solve. When you have enough money, you will find other problems and when you are 70 years old and you have your life solved, you will ask yourself, did I ever live my life to the fullest or I worked like a slave to make a lot of money and forgot to live ?

About 5 times what I make now. And if I ever make that much, I'll need to multiply that by 10 to feel happy. And so on...
