How much salary would make you happy?
$983.7 Billion.
Plus dividends.
@Shelton barely. But I’ll get by.
I live in MN so the cost of living it's too high here. I would be happy with $80,000/year.
This is how it works for ME.... I learned a long time ago that if I make one buck then I wasn't happy because I wanted to make two. Then I was making two and still unhappy because I wanted three..... See the dilemma here? Eventually understood, changed my ways and I have been happy (financially) since then....
Enough to keep food in my belly, a roof over my head, cloths on my back...and some left over to help those who don't have these basic needs...
Mr Micawber's famous, and oft-quoted, recipe for happiness:
"Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure nineteen [pounds] nineteen [shillings] and six [pence], result happiness. Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure twenty pounds ought and six, result misery."
Charles Dickens, David Copperfield
I have been happy with little and seen miserable rich people. I would rather be content than happy, happiness is unsustainable.
So much disposable income, so little happiness it brings.
it's not the salary but what I do that matters more.
as long as I'm ok and the jobs more like a brilliant hobby, I don't mind much.
