According to a study covered by Money Magazine, money doesn’t make people happier after they have their basic expenses covered. 42% of people who make $50-89.9K/year are happy vs. 43% of people who make $90K+/year.
I found this interesting at first because I figured anyone would be happier with a Ferrari. But I guess the long work hours and problems recognizing your firstborn takes a little bit of the happiness away. After all, you have to spend time making money, so you can buy that Ferrari. And as we covered in our 4-Hour Workweek post, time is the most precious currency.
