☆ Daniel Kahneman’s Gift for Adversarial Collaboration Is What We Need Now - The New York Times
  + stars: | 2024-04-01 | by ( Cass R. Sunstein | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
Our all-American belief that money really does buy happiness is roughly correct for about 85 percent of us. We know this thanks to the latest and perhaps final work of Daniel Kahneman, the Nobel Prize winner who insisted on the value of working with those with whom we disagree. Professor Kahneman, who died last week at the age of 90, is best known for his pathbreaking explorations of human judgment and decision-making, and of how people deviate from perfect rationality. Beyond a threshold at or below $90,000, Professor Kahneman and Professor Deaton found, there is no further progress in average happiness as income increases. Eleven years later, Matthew Killingsworth, a senior fellow at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, found exactly the opposite: People with higher income reported higher levels of average happiness.

For millennials, happiness would come from a $525,000 annual salary. Still, high inflation, interest rates, and student loans damper Americans' financial happiness. Here's what each generation said they need to earn annually, as well as the net worth required, to achieve happiness:Gen Z: $128,000, with a net worth of $487,711Millennials: $525,000, with a net worth of $1,699,571Gen X: $130,000, with a net worth of $1,213,759Boomer: $124,000, with a net worth of $999,945AdvertisementMen said they needed to earn $381,000 annually, while women said $183,000 would make them happy. The latest economic data could make Americans' financial happiness goals more achievable.

☆ Would a $100,000 salary make you happy? Here's when more money doesn't mean more joy
  + stars: | 2023-03-28 | by ( Kamaron Mcnair | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +3 min
While money certainly helps bring joy and satisfaction to your life, it won't have the same impact on everyone. The researchers first set out to determine why one study showed a happiness plateau while the other did not. For the new study, the researchers decided to look at incomes above or below $100,000 as a starting point. Since Killingsworth's study categorized that salary in the $90,000 to $100,000 range, they decided to simply look at incomes above or below $100,000. An "unhappy minority" revealed itself, however, as the researchers found the most explicit happiness plateau among the least happy 15 to 20% of people.
☆ Money really does buy happiness for most people, researchers say
  + stars: | 2023-03-09 | by ( Grace Dean | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +4 min
It found that for the vast majority of people, money does buy you happiness. Meanwhile, happiness "increases steadily" along with income among the rest of the population, Killingsworth, Kahneman, and Mellers found. For the happiest 30% of people, happiness rises at an accelerated rate beyond $100,000. "In other words, the bottom of the happiness distribution rises much faster than the top in that range of incomes. Killingsworth, Kahneman, and Mellers noted, however, that the correlation between income and well-being was "weak, even if statistically robust."
