>He wondered how wealth fit into the happiness equation, but the data suggested money wasn’t the answer; beyond a certain, basic threshold, increases in income hardly affected well-being.
Yet the majority of Earth's population can never reach that certain threshold.
- chrisweekly 5y agoYeah. Money can't make you happy, but debt can make you miserable.
- vmception 5y agoI think people are debating the wrong question. Happiness? Well-being? It seems to function more like oxygen. You know when you don’t have it and your priorities shift completely to constantly dealing with that. You want an unlimited, self perpetuating supply so that you never think about it.
- vmception 5y agoI don't think that has anything to do with happiness but it has everything to do with unhappiness.
