A new study from Princeton University shows that money can help buy happiness, but only up to a point — about $75,000 in annual household income, to be exact. Above that amount, more cash has no effect on “emotional well-being,” or how elated, sad or stressed you feel on a day-to-day basis… being poor makes everything worse — unemployment, of course, but also divorce, asthma and (having) a headache; even the weekend… it’s not so much that money buys you happiness, but that a lack of money below $75,000 buys you increasing misery
