Hi,

I hear happiness can be calculated in money.

A study published a while ago somewhere in Europe

It's even in a book.

I'm interested in this kind of analogy.

case 1

For example, if a single person gets married

When you win a 430,000 yen lottery ticket and

I heard that it is equivalent to the feeling of happiness.

case 2

For example, when your first child is born

310,000 yen on the street and

The feeling of happiness will be equivalent to that of a person who is happy.

Yay!

But it's true that if you pick up or receive a piece of change on the street

I think it is true that the tension is so much higher when I imagine it in real life.

I tend to judge by the face value of the money.

I'd be happy if I suddenly had a few hundred thousand more in spending money.

The money analogy is a very interesting idea.

In fact, the birth of a baby, marriage, etc.

That moment can hardly be bought with money.

It is a rather different vector of happiness.

On a different note, if your income rises, your sense of happiness will also rise.

You might be thinking, "Oh, my God, people.

That too is partly a misnomer.

It is true that if a person who earns 3 million a year doubles his income to 6 million a year

It has been confirmed that the sense of happiness increases.

But if the same person's annual income increases to 30 million

If you ask whether happiness will increase proportionally

This is by no means the case.

Let's skip the details and get to the results.

If the annual income is increased by up to about 8 million

People's sense of happiness rises.

Even if you go above that, compared to 8 million, people's sense of happiness

There was a study that showed not much difference.

And even if you have money, if you are lonely, you are not happy.

So-called money is not something that increases happiness.

I have just enough to get along well with others

It is wiser to use it as a lubricant.

People often waste money on brand-name products and

about 2,000% of the world's population, and they are proselytizing.

If you can't discern the essence

You're not really rich.

ThankU
