yeah, I forget where I heard it - but there was a study done and there comes a point in which when you exceed around $40k per year - your level of happiness does not increase much at ALL.

which makes perfect sense because $40k is roughly a number (for 1 person at least) to live comfortably without having to worry too much.

anymore money than that is usually purely for materialistic purposes. and we all know materialism only brings temporary happiness - the saying "money can't buy happiness" becomes true once you reach the point where your necessities and cost of living are covered.
