General - How happy are you? - View Post

With wealth comes food, shelter, clothing and all the other basic necessities of life (in massive abundance too). With your basic survival needs satisfied and no fear that that will never change, a person's scale of happiness should be at least halfway fulfilled (5/10). And then other things like education should really bump it up a few points imo.

Material wellbeing doesn't have a straight correlation with happiness.

A rich person can be an unhappy, miserable asshole and a poor person can be the happiest, most cheerful person on Earth.

 

Happiness is more about perception of what you have than about what you actually have. It's very subjective.
