Money and happiness

While it is true that money can't buy love or happiness,

a certain amount is necessary to have a baseline of
happiness. Interestingly, from science we learn that for
most people the magic number is between $75- $100K
per year. At that point we have enough money not to be
struggling between paychecks, and there is a
diminishing return on making more money after that.
The nice thing is happiness is more about our habits and
attitudes that we can control through things like
exercise, mindfulness, gratitude, kindness, etc.
regardless of how ______or how ,______ money we
have. Happiness Is a choice and a process, not a place.
