Initially, yes, but studies have shown over time you normalise and are just as unhappy as you were before you had more money.
If I think of the people I know who are happy and unhappy, money isn't a great correlation factor, and I know people are borderline homeless through to millionaires - I know happy/unhappy people across capital worth and income spectrum.
A better correlation for happiness is attitude and gratitude and enjoying the small things - the very things the article references.
- it_learnses 9y agoYep, from personal experience, after a certain amount of salary, my happiness level stayed the same. It would go up a bit maybe for a week or so after getting an increase, but I don't really feel happier than before even though I can travel more, and spend more.
