It seems to be assumed, and to think that happiness is not money, because paper money is not exchanged for love, health and other intangible ... However, scientists and sociologists believe the opposite. It turns out that these two concepts are not only related, but the exact amount has, possessing which you can feel and call themselves happy.
Calculate the treasured sum could present the winner of the Nobel Prize for Economics Angus Deaton of Princeton University (prestigious international award he received for the analysis of poverty, consumption and welfare) and Nobel laureate Daniel Kahneman in 2002. Americans conducted a study of the relationship of inhabitants of Western countries to the money and determined that same amount, which can make a person happy.
< What is happiness
In a joint study, scientists examined the materials of 450 thousand questionnaires US residents collected Institute of Public Opinion Gallup, and concluded that all there are two kinds of happiness:
- Daily. It is understood the frequency and intensity of experiences of joy, sadness, grief, anger - all the things that can make life happy or not
. - General. It refers to the general feeling of my life.
The researchers clearly delimited concepts such as "happiness" (this word they understand the emotional well-being, and only his) and "evaluation of life." The latter, according to scientists, is the only satisfaction with their own lives and the level is not related to the emotional state.
< The maximum amount
Having studied the profiles and comparing the level of earnings of the emotional state, the researchers calculated the "saturation point", the ceiling is reached, the person becomes happy:
75,000 dollars a year
In comments to his study, economists pointed out that as soon as people started to make these 75 thousand, they reached a certain emotional peak. Starting to get more money, they can not overcome it.
"75 thousand a year - a kind of threshold. Crossing it, began to earn more, people would not be able to improve your emotional state. Moreover, if a person will receive a large amount, for example, 250 thousand, it will be up to assess their quality of life, comparing, for example, with someone who earns 100 thousand, "- the authors write
. In other words, according to scientists, the salary of, say, 200 thousand dollars, will not contribute to greater convergence person on an emotional level with their family and friends, will not make the same walk in the park or relaxing with loved ones more exciting and enjoyable at the restaurant. < br>
In fairness it should be noted that the results of research Kahneman and Deaton have been criticized due to the fact that scientists do not take into account such, for example, parameters such as the number of family members, number of children and the general cost of living in a particular place.
< How much you need to earn in Russia, to be happy?
To answer this question did not try to Nobel Prize winners, and sociologists SuperJob research center. This spring, the company's specialists conducted a survey among the economically active population of the Russian Federation, examined the results and calculated the average amount needed for happiness rossiyaninu:
162 thousand rubles per month
It is worth noting that a year ago the Russians needed a little more money to feel happy - 173 thousand rubles
. In contrast to the study of American economists, sociologists from the Russian Federation do not breakdown in the emotional well-being and satisfaction with life in general. So the concept of "happiness" one of the respondents put their own special washed away.
162 000 - the average result. In addition to this figure, sociologists have led also a breakdown by gender and age.
Russian sociologists trace an interesting pattern, proving loyalty common phrase "the more you have, the more you want." The more people earning at the time of the study, the greater the amount allegedly required him to be happy, he called.
If you suddenly become so that revenues are far from those that correspond to the "true happiness", you can try to fix this thing. A better start with elementary - attempts to promote a boss at a higher salary
