75k problem
Apparently money does buys happiness up until you make $75,000 (Link). In all honesty I haven’t actually read this study, and even if I had, it’s not really my field of expertise, so I probably couldn’t accurately judge it.
Regardless of whether it’s true or not, I think it’s rather sad that you can throw all the self care as you want at certain problems, but at the end of the day what people sometimes need is just a little bit of money. I’ve been in unfortunately many situations where I tell people about self care and self improvement because it’s what they have access to, but what I really just want to say is “damn man, you just need to never speak to that person again” (which often isn’t feasible) or “damn man, you just need a couple extra hundred a month.”
