Guessing Incomes in New York City

I go around interviewing people in NYC and try to guess how much people make in a year working in New York City! I ask questions like, "what's the most expensive thing you own" & "does money buy happiness?" Their salaries varied a lot...

I'm pretty sure the way these people answered the "does money buy happiness" question says a lot about their access to it growing up. I grew up low-income and my answer to this would be hell yes it does. The things I can buy with it aren't going to make me happy, but the comfort in knowing I can afford my rent and its paid in full, my light bill is paid for, etc, definitely does.

[@mikec2845]

agreed. went from 20k to 250k in a year. only a fool would think I'm not more happy now. financial instability causes so much stress, just removing that alone makes your entire life easier- therefore you have energy to let yourself be happy

[@oMSoundblind]

@@mikec2845 I think the problem with the question is that it is not a yes or no answer. Because for people on low incomes it absolutely increases happiness. As you mentioned going from 20k to 250k made you happier. But I can also guarantee you that going from 250k to 500k will not. (listen to the guy that makes 700k for example) Yes, you can buy more things, but at your current income level having more things does not make you happier. I would say the correct statement would be "Not having money problems makes you happier".

I think it partly depends on how you define happiness. It varies from person to person. There are essentials like health and overall basic financial stability, but then there is love, family, etc. People have different wants and needs.

[@laur-unstagenameactuallyca1587]

essentials like a roof over your head, clean water, health. they're basic human rights. money affords that. look at what happened in Flint Michigan, some people couldn't (or didn't) pay water bills and the entire place got their treated water shut off and instead got lead-filled water through the pipes. 6,000-12,000 children who were exposed to the water are gonna have a lifetime of cancer issues down the line. sad.

[@scratchpenny]

@@laur-unstagenameactuallyca1587 I think money buys a baseline of happiness in our society by allowing you to get your basic needs met. But, beyond that, I don't think it buys happiness. And really wealthy people often complain that it can bring with it unhappiness. Between being rich or poor, I'd rather be rich as well. But what many don't account for is what it took to be that rich - it is not achieved in a vacuum. What did those people have to do to be that rich? Often, it comes at an extreme cost of relationships, healthy lifestyle, love, morality, etc. That can lead to a lot of unhappiness.

[@laur-unstagenameactuallyca1587]

@@scratchpenny The way I see it, there's a point at which external unhappiness is solved and then you only have internal unhappiness to solve or fix. but poor people have to contend with both, instead of one. you can easily "pull yourself up by the bootstraps - socially" by doing something radical - park your money in a trust fund, go volunteer with WWOOF, go travel around the world and live with people in foreign hostels, go thru-hike on one of the US' great trails and join a community, join an art group class, join a discord server, etc. you can literally do that easily. and if you're not good at socializing, you can get therapy and take lessons. but pulling yourself up by the bootstraps financially is a lot harder. almost impossible for many people who have responsibilities or dependants - whether it be ageing parents who didn't earn enough to save a substantial amount for retirement, or children you had when you were a teen, or a sick or handicapped relative -- or even if you yourself are suffering mental health issues (I'd rather be rich and have social anxiety than poor and have social anxiety). rich people are just a lot happier/have the capacity to be happier. they have no excuse.

Money buys time, freedom, stability, comfort, experiences, opportunities, and security. So basically, yes- money CAN buy happiness... or at least the foundations for it. Wealthy or financially stable individuals will still face psychological or existential problems, as most people do, but it eliminates the stress of having to struggle with physiological or basic needs (food, shelter, education) that low-income people face daily. For a more crude way to put it- I'd rather be sad living in a big warm house than be sad living in the cold streets.
