How Much Money is Love Worth?

I really like this guy’s blend of hard and soft science; it’s what I try to do here as much as I can.
My biggest takeaway – and it was something I already knew – was that more money doesn’t equate to (much) more happiness. If you freeze the chart at 3:21, you’ll see for yourself. People who make $75K rate their actual happiness at a 7/10. People who make a half million dollars rate theirs at a 7.3/10.
More money doesn’t equate to (much) more happiness.
But the most important message is that committed, long-term love — a pair bond that lasts forever — is about the greatest ticket to happiness known to mankind. Dogs are great. Friends are cool. Travel is a fun, temporary high. But if you want a long happy life, choose a great partner to share the ride.
Have a great day, everybody.
