Scientific research on wealth and well-being
Overview
Recent scientific studies have examined the relationship between financial status, social connections, and long-term happiness. Research involving approximately 3,290 participants found that individuals with assets exceeding 50,000 euros reported higher life satisfaction scores, specifically 7.23 on a 10-point scale, compared to 6.34 for those without such reserves.
However, broader findings from international researchers suggest that while financial security is a necessary foundation for covering basic needs and reducing stress, income has a diminishing impact on happiness once those needs are met. Instead, researchers identify social relationships, community belonging, autonomy, and a sense of purpose as the most significant pillars for emotional well-being and a fulfilling life.
