I know it is not proper to tie your happiness to finance, but i did some research into the subject and found a study that was conducted with the result that happiness increases with the amount of money one makes up until a point  where there is no greater degree of happiness from making money, but unhappiness if ones income drops beneath that range.

(See study here - https://www.cnbc.com/2017/11/20/how-much-money-you-need-to-be-happy-according-to-wealth-experts.html)
Never thought studies into this subject matter were undertaken but I like the conclusion that was drawn, everything has a limit to what extent it can go. But between money and happiness, you want unlimited happiness because this usually leads to great connections with people, money can make things happen but it can be a source of problems.


What is your opinion on the subject of "money & happiness"?
It's very difficult to separate the two because both mimic each other in one way or another,  happiness is original while money can get you synthetic happiness which is the happiness you don't want because it will get you fake friends  and fake relationships but when it's done this happiness you thought you had will be gone too.
When it comes to money, money can be a source of happiness or a source of trouble. In my country maybe money can be a person's social status..they have a lot of money they are respected. Unlike people who are poor, they don't have much money... However, not everyone thinks so.. but it has become a public secret if people have a lot of money, it is confirmed that social status in society is most appreciated.
