What? Wait, I DO THAT TOO!! :scream:

I’m a head chef for a little cafe on a modest salary but can’t complain it pays the bills and leave me a little left over at the end of the month not that I wouldn’t love to earn Ā£8,000 a month but this job it’s just want I need with my partner having BPD she doesn’t like to be on her own in the evenings so I finish at 4:00pm every day and have Sundays off which is good for this trade

There was some research done on whether money can buy you happiness and the findings were that there’s a threshold in terms of earnings before money doesn’t make an impact on your overall quality of life / emotional state.

$95,000 (about Ā£75,000) gets you ā€œoverall life satisfactionā€, though to get ā€œemotional well-beingā€ the amount is $60,000 - $70,000 (about Ā£46k - Ā£55k).

Which is utterly ridiculous. I know some very very happy and satisfied people living well below those numbers (myself included). Guess it depends how you measure ā€˜happiness’ and ā€˜life satisfaction’?

I’ve also heard that if you ask anyone what kind of salary they think they’d need to be happy, almost everyone will say about 30% more than whatever they’re on now. No matter how much they’re earning.

I’m someone who took a drastic pay cut to pursue my dream career, and I earn less than everyone else on this thread but love going to work every day, so I try not to complain too much (although yes, I do feel like a 30% payrise would make me a bit happier :joy:)

Money can indeed buy you happiness. the people that say it doesn’t are brain dead… If someone is rich they would have lots of time to spend with their family and live a happy life.

Erm. Ā£284,741 balance isn’t rich?

And I thought I was poor before this…!

I’m a Bank Account Premiumisation Manager at a modern fintech bank.

Currently I earn £6 £3 an hour, but hoping to increase that as I bring new skills to the business.

This is either a nice fake or… the entire reason you created this post was to show off how much money you have??

Why are you asking, what is the purpose of this topic? I’m curious.
