Money adds happiness up to a certain threshold. Controlling for inflation since it was last studied that threshold is like $200k income.

For 99% of the population, money WILL buy happiness.

Id like to see the correlation of happiness to incomes if the threshold where it stops effecting mental health Is 200k, whats the low end of a higher income thats correlated to a better mental health outcome, and is the effect weaker at the lower range?

It is kind of hilarious that Trump and the oligarchs are telling us not to worry about the affordability crisis and gas prices. They’ve been enriched and , obviously don’t have to worry.

I was homeless for 4 years and just got housing in May. I cannot tell you how my life has changed for the better. It's true. 😁

Known fact. Therapists often say : "the mental problems of half of my clients could be fixed with a one-time donation of 10,000 dollars"

Thing is...it doesn't have to be expensive. Republicans let capitalists sacrifice our health for their peace. They want us fearing for I lives scrambling for scraps. And it's time to put an end to their little racket. Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité

The mental health issues don't disappear. The damage poverty does can last a life time. You need a full fridge AND therapy.

While true, its more about income vs expenses. If your income exceeds your expenses you will be happier. If the reverse, you will be miserable. That is true for all income levels.

Trust me, a lot of rich people have far more mental health problems. They just hide them better.

With social media, not really.
