Maybe money can buy you happiness. That optimistic conclusion comes from a recent study of how much that amount might be in different parts of the world and the U.S. A salary of about $105,000, on average, is seen as enough to make people happy in the U.S., although that amount varies depending on where they live, according to S Money, a money exchange service. It used a 2018 Purdue University study that looked at how much money would make people feel satisfied with life. In its new analysis of that data, S Money adjusted that amount by the cost of living in each area and calculated what happiness "costs" in those places. Happiness may not depend so much on how you spend your money but with whom you earn and spend it, experts say. “The quality of our social relationships is a strong determinant of our happiness,” Harvard researchers said. “Because of this, almost anything we do to improve our connections with others tends to improve our happiness.” Check the link in the bio to see the results for your city.
