A new study published in the journal, “Nature Human Behavior,” says the richer people get, the less happy they become.
The study found once a household reaches an annual income of $105,000, any more money reduces satisfaction and level of well being.
Researches say the ideal income point for an individual is $95,000 for life evaluation and $60,000 to $75,000 for emotional well-being.
The research is based on data collected from the Gallup World Poll, a survey of more than 1.7 million individuals from 164 countries.

Less happy but much less stress , been there done it .
Money may not buy Happiness, but it will let you be miserable in comfort.
no SHIT SHERLOCK... Even the Rapper Biggie Smalls or aka Notorious BIG said more money is more problems...
The people who have the most problem with more money are those who spend it all and think that using credit cards is a good thing. Those who live modestly, with little or no debt, shop only by necessity, and who are frugal savers tend to be happier.
I'd like to volunteer to experience the problem and then I'll let you know the results....down the road.
12:30 Ok, get an education and move to where you can earn that kind of money. Ain't going to happen on the slower lower shore.
I am willing to unburden anyone of their excessive unhappiness. No need to thank me! Just give me whatever you make over $105K and I will suffer it in silence, as your happiness is maximized.
12:30 PM sign me up right behind you. Where do they come up with this BS.

LOL
My thoughts exactly.
I think somebody is trying to sell us swamp land.
Oh don't worry about money. It will make you unhappy.
Be happy with being a full time worker who is poor.
Trust us, you won't be any happier if you get paid more.
So on
You and me both. I’ll take my chances.
Our household makes about $160K a year. I work about 10 hours a month and am happy as can be.
Money does not buy happiness, it does provide options. Wise decision making on those options will provide more opportunities for happiness

If you don't think there are millionaires on the shore, who earned it on the shore, you are mistaken. I agree there may not be many opportunities on the shore to accomplish that but it can and does happen.
Damn Obama!
