The Income Needed to Be Happy Around the World
https://www.visualcapitalist.com/ranked-income-needed-to-be-happy-by-country/
• Slovenia is the only country where the average wage exceeds the estimated “price of happiness”, the point beyond which additional income no longer improves life evaluation scores.
• Luxembourg, Estonia, and Singapore are the next closest, with average wages reaching about 90% of the income level where well-being plateaus.
• In the United States, the average wage covers just 55.8% of the country’s happiness threshold
