  • Isn’t it like bikes? Up to a certain cutoff you do get a noticeable increase in performance (happiness) for your money, exceeding that it’s just fairly unnecessary refinements that get increasingly meaningless.

  • Also once you've got your nice fancy bike, you start becoming illogically concerned about all the ways in which you could spend £££ to save a gram or so, and focus on having a nicer bike than all the other £££-spenders you interact with

  • Yes, all the research says there is a direct correlation between income and happiness up until about $70k from memory, so around £58k (so around top 10% of earners in UK). After that increase's in happiness aren't correlated with increases in income, things like hobbies, family and social interactions, free time start to come in to play.
