TO TRULY BE HAPPY, YOU NEED $8 MILLION IN THE BANK
According to a new study of millionaires, it takes $8 million to truly be happy.
Researchers at Harvard University found that millionaires who were worth more than $8 million rated themselves as happier than those who hadn't put together that kind of wealth.
It’s unclear why this is the tipping point. It could be that’s the magic number of $8 million puts high net worth people ahead of their peers, boosting their perceptions of self-worth. Or, maybe $8 million is the amount where millionaires feel their money is safe enough to spend freely on things like charity and big gifts.
Either way, it's good to know just how much is needed to turn that frown upside-down. Time to go get that second job..
