Does money make people happy? 💰

Numerous studies prove: it's not money that makes us happy. But why is this myth so popular?

In reality, money does bring happiness, but a little and not for long . Comparing different countries and people of different wealth within the same countries, it's evident that for the poor, happiness is directly tied to material well-being, and their sense of happiness increases with their income .

However, once basic life needs are met – having a home, medical care, no hunger, the ability to afford relaxation, and providing good education for children – further income increase doesn't make people happier . There's a wonderful quote by Sholom Aleichem that captures this sentiment, "It's not so good with money, as it's bad without it".

People for whom money is especially important tend to feel less happy than those who take a philosophical approach to the material side of life

If you want to achieve success, support others in their success. When we help others succeed, we create a positive environment that fosters growth and collaboration. By sharing knowledge and resources, we not only benefit others but also ourselves. When we support others, we build trust and develop strong relationships that can lead to future opportunities. Ultimately, success is not a zero-sum game. There is enough success to go around, and by supporting others, we increase the likelihood of achieving our own goals. So let's choose to lift each other up and celebrate each other's successes.

This is amazing 👏 😍
