I think it would postpone it for several years but wouldn't stop it, it's inevitable. Nothing material can stop it.

Yes, that would literally solve 90% of my problems.If you were to win a million, 10 million, 100 million, would it solve the reason for you being on this site? Would you still feel suicidal? I'd love to win that much money and I'd probably do some spontaneous stuff with it, but I'd really just plan on leaving it for those I love.
I remember when Anthony Bourbain died specifically, so many were curious as to how a man of his fame and fortune could commit such an act. I understood though, because realistically no amount of money will fix the problems that I face and have faced.
Nope--I'm already financially secure, and reside in a beautiful 1500 sq ft condo 1 mile from the beach---My pain is strictly an emotional loss---It could be a 100 million dollar lotto win and I still wouldn't care, it won't bring her back to life, or lift me from my depths of despairIf you were to win a million, 10 million, 100 million, would it solve the reason for you being on this site?

Have you seen this? I think this is credible.I wonder about this sometimes. The little research I've done says no amount of money can make you happy. I've pondered on the people that say that are the ones with money. I think it would postpone at best . After having money becomes the normal, it would be back to the same
Interesting. I can certainly understand the logic behind it but idk, the more money I make, the more ways I figure out how to spend it. That is interesting about the 80's range. It's actually strangely accurate in terms of spending and lifestyle, but definitely not happiness. I'm speaking for myself tho but I'm a very broken personHave you seen this? I think this is credible.

Financial happiness starts at $85,000 per year
Americans earning more than $85,000 a year are happier than those who earn less, a new study finds. Prior research found that it plateaued at $75,000.www.businessinsider.com
Basically, they think after some "threshold" amount increasing money makes no difference. Below that amount, increasing money can make a very big difference.
"The data is pretty clear that when we can financially take care of ourselves, our mental health is better," she said. "It's stressful to be on the grind all the time."
So, yeah. For me, it wouldn't solve all of my problems by any means, but I bet I wouldn't be CTB'ing anytime soon after that, if ever.

It would not fix the depression or the chronic illness I have but it would make a difference and I might be able to live just so anyone who still cares about me won't suffer.If you were to win a million, 10 million, 100 million, would it solve the reason for you being on this site?

So where you live, the income of diminishing returns would be something higher than that. I'm guessing the folks earning under $85K would still be happier earning $85K than not.Where I live you can't even survive on that
For sure … That's enough to rent a place and eat …So where you live, the income of diminishing returns would be something higher than that. I'm guessing the folks earning under $85K would still be happier earning $85K than not.
