Minimum salary for happiness

<p>I think anything above like 140k and I'll be okay.</p>

<p>Give me a hot wife and 30 k and I’ll be just dandy.</p>

<p>Enough to build a enthusiast level PC for whenever new hardware comes out. Gotta stay on top of the GPUs/CPUs.</p>

<p>You wouldn’t be happy with 130k?</p>

<p>If I can have an apartment, food, and a job I love I’ll be happy.
(living in a metropolis like NYC or Tokyo an apartment could be very $$$ T_T)</p>

<p>Enough for me to be financially comfortable.</p>

<p>Enough money to have a pretty good house, to have food on the table, and to take a vacation every now and then without stressing over the bills.</p>

<p>Enough to build a minimalist ultra modern house (doesn’t have to be big)
and be a world traveler, like at least 20 countries.</p>

<p>100,000. That’d be good.</p>

<p>I’m a happy person, so I’ll be happy regardless.
However, I don’t think I’ll be satisfied with less than 100k.</p>

<p>$0</p>

<p>Money doesn’t matter, people just think it does.</p>

<p>Likewise, I refuse to be rich, or have more than I need, when others have too little.</p>

<p>I grew up with parents whose combined income was around $25k a year. We were happy.</p>

<p>I also partially grew up with my aunt and uncle whose yearly income was 7 digits. They were miserable. </p>

<p>I don’t need money to be happy. As long as I can put food on the table and a roof over my head, the rest is just for “things” that mask people’s unhappiness.</p>

<p>This is a stupid thread. There’s more to a job than salary. I’d be much happier making $70k a year, working a comfortable 40 hour week, and starting/taking care of my family than making $140k a year, working 80 hours a week and never having time to start/take care of my family.</p>

<p>How much money you need for a comfortable life depends on the cost of living in your area.</p>

<p>In a place like Oklahoma 45K may be sufficient.</p>

<p>But in NYC I’d need around 120K.</p>

<p>Enough to buy my mama anything she wants. Anything under $300G’s isn’t going to put bread on the table</p>
