Are you interested in learning about the secret to perfect happiness? The answer is to make over $500,000 a year, a top one percent income.
In an amazing Gallup poll highlighted by the Wall Street Journal, it says that 100% of those who make more than $500,000 are “very happy”! That’s right. Not 98%. Not 99%. But a pure 100%.
This is a breakthrough research finding that has amazingly received little publicity. When you find perfection, it must be revealed!
Surely this study is more earth-shattering than a University of Alabama PhD finding that those who ate more fried chicken had a higher chance of a stroke. More money, more delirious happiness, not more problems, silly Biggy.

Perfect Happiness Will Save The World
The simple solution to eliminating wars and eradicating all levels of sadness is to make over $500,000.
Folks like Bill Gates, Larry Ellison, Mark Zuckerberg, Michael Bloomberg, Li Ka Shing, The Walmart clan, Ray Dalio, and anybody who just inherited a bunch of money can make a difference in the lives of so many. All they have to do is donate $425,000 a year to median families given the median household income is roughly $75,000 in 2023.
I want to see a tag-team cage match between Princeton economist Angus Deaton and Princeton psychologist Daniel Kahneman who say that $75,000 is the ideal income for maximum happiness vs. Michigan Public Policy professor Betsey Stevenson (currently serving as a Member of the Council Of Economic Advisers) and Michigan economist Justin Wolfers who conclude that $500,000 is the magic number. Don’t you?
If what Kahneman says is true, that $75,000 is the ideal income for maximum happiness, then why aren’t all Americans truly satisfied with what they have? Ah hah!
