Study: Happiness costs $163,500 in Manhattan — $75K in rest of U.S.

A recent study found that money makes Americans’ happier until they reach an annual salary of $75,000, which they dubbed the “happiness income.” Thing is $75,000 goes a lot further in Minnesota than it does in Manhattan, remarked The Wall Street Journal . WSJ adjusted the dollar value of that annual salary; turns out in New York it’s $163,500. Time you New Yorkers asked for a “happiness raise.”
