10 months agoI came across a study this week that surveyed people across various income levels, asking what salary increase they believed would ensure their happiness. Interestingly, the average responses were consistent across all salary ranges:
• 25-50k = 30-50% increase
• 50-100k = 30-50% increase
• 100k-250k = 30-50% increase
• 250k-500k = 30-50% increase
TLDR: It seems no matter how much people earn, they always feel the need for more to be happy.
This is possibly because we tend to buy things for the happiness we think they’ll bring, yet often we can’t fully enjoy these purchases because we’re too busy working to make use of them.

My biggest challenge is managing to stay motivated while coping with the following value dilemma:
On one side, I enable a team of wonderful humans to live decently and spend their days in a caring environment.
On the other side, I feel like I am contributing to the promotion of non-essential products and services in a world where economic decrease seems to be the only way to ensure a meaningful life for my future children.
