CHARLOTTE, N.C. - If you want to know how much money you need to make to be happy living in Charlotte, the simple answer is in the six digits.
A survey from Purdue University and GoBankingRates.com found that you need an annual salary of $112,035 to be happy in the Queen City. It also found that people need to be making between $64,020 and $80,025 annually for their emotional well-being.
The study argued that the optimal amount of money it takes to be happy varies worldwide.
“That might be surprising as what we see on TV and what advertisers tell us we need would indicate that there is no ceiling when it comes to how much money is needed for happiness, but we now see there are some thresholds,” said Andrew T. Jebb, a doctoral student and the lead author of the Purdue University study, in a press release.
The research specifically sought to pinpoint the amount where money no longer changed a person’s level of emotional well-being. Emotional well-being was measured according to a person’s day-to-day emotions, including happy, excited, sad and angry.
