Can Money buy happiness? What's the magic $ number?
They say that money can’t buy happiness. I totally aggree with this but There have been studies about this and there is an amount that is a sort of cut-off.
From total pennilessness to this $ amount – gaining more income actually does help with your everyday happiness. But from that $ amount on up – no matter what the salary one makes, ones happiness doesn’t change. At that point any happiness gained is only from what’s in your heart and from who/what you are and what you make of life.
What is that Dollar amount (anual salary)?

Money is a tool, a means to an end. If having lots of it does anything for you, it gives you freedom and choices. There is NO inherent happiness in money. It can improve your standard of living, it can alleviate certain kinds of stress, but no amount of money–no matter how big or small–brings you real happiness.
I admit that I never met a dollar I didn’t like. I do what I can to bring in as much as I can, but honestly, I’m happy with my life. I make a decent living; not great, and probably not what men my age and education earn. I absolutely adore the work I do, and have been making a living at it for over 30 years. My wife and I both work, but don’t consider it a necessity any more than the ability to pay the mortgage, car payment, gas, insurance, groceries, utilities, and whatever else is left over for fun. I have so much to be grateful for that has absolutely nothing to do with money that I actually wonder how much happier I’d really be with all that much more. I’m not sure I would.
I think you have a notion of this in your question. I just think that once you get to a point in your life when you don’t have to scrape for everything, you’ll be there–and it won’t be nearly as much as you imagined. I wish you happiness, success, and good luck!
i don’t know the exact dollar amount, but figure it this way: take the amount of bills + amount of needs + savings + Retirement + amount of your reasonable wants and subtract it from the total yearly income. if you have more than 50% of your money left over, then it’s too much.
really money cant buy happyness,try to search in your self it wont be flotting in nature try to sign in ur self…
money is only a contributor to happiness. besides, happiness is a feeling and those things can’t be bought.
There was actually a study done about 4 years ago that determined that 1.5 million dollars is the magic number for someone to be happy. This is not salary, it’s a dollar amount. [Salary means job which means headaches and stress].
