i think i read, that you need about 70.000 -100.000€ (probably a lot more in the US) a year to live in the happiness optimum. more helps, but after a certain sum it starts to make you unhappy again because you loose connection to “normal” people, start to get worried about loosing it and your lluxuries start to bore you/ yoi don’t value them as much anymore. however having not enough money is clearly more dangerous in a capitalist system to make you unhappy since you loose the freedom of choice and action.
i guess it’s annoying to see what rich people buy with their money since i don’t value it that high and value my wishes higher (and i hate “minimal design” buildings with lawn or even ston gardens when you have clearly enough money to pay for beautiful buildings and a gardener. also fuck golf for having courses in nearly every town).

I’d guess the flip over point is maybe a bit higher. I can see definite gains up to 500,000-1,000,000 a year.
I suspect the cut off is around there however. Assuming the same base work level to get it.
I could personally live VERY happily on 100k a year, but not afford EVERYTHING I could reasonably want.
