he wrote in the study, adding, &#8220;compared to variation in incomes above $80,000, larger incomes below $80,000 had a stronger association with reduced negative feelings, consistent with the possibility that moving from low to moderate income might be especially useful in avoiding (or mitigating) causes of suffering.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I.e. the more disposable income you have, the more you can spend on making yourself feel less awful (or happier, if you&#8217;d prefer a less negative view).<\/p>\n<p>In worse news for people not earning vast sums of money, the research was unable to find a cutoff point for the relationship between money and wellbeing.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There was also no income threshold at which experienced and evaluative well-being diverged; instead, higher incomes were associated with both feeling better moment-to-moment and being more satisfied with life overall,&#8221; he concluded.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;While there may be some point beyond which money loses its power to improve well-being, the current results suggest that point may lie higher than previously thought.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"adx_native_ad_111066\"><strong>SOURCE: IFL Science<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/article>\n<div id=\"antig-1302863342\" class=\"antig-in-comments_2 antig-entity-placement\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/@hadeedmotorsltd\" aria-label=\"Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2\"><img src=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1000\/h:250\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1000\/h:250\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 1000w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:300\/h:75\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 300w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:768\/h:192\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" width=\"1000\" height=\"250\"   \/><\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A large study has concluded what you might have guessed already: the more money you have, the happier you are likely to be.
