Having more money won't make you NOT happy.

HOW MUCH DO YOU NEED TO BE HAPPY?

Time Magazine said that a study done on happiness revealed that the more people make above $75,000, the more they feel their life is working out on the whole — but that it doesn’t make them any more jovial in the mornings.

(Note the definition of Jovial: cheerful and friendly)

For many, it’s hard to be cheerful when you’re constantly stressed about money.

Money problems bring fights with your spouse, feelings of uneasiness because you can’t pay for things you want to give your kids, and the reality of being trapped, a financial slave on the hamster wheel of a paycheck-to-paycheck life.

With the cost of living in the USA, most people who make 75K or less have nothing leftover financially at the end of the month.

Who wants to clip coupons and pinch pennies?

Take my advice: You need much more than 75K, and for all those people who say money doesn’t bring happiness, how would they know?

Most people who tell you money doesn’t bring happiness don’t have money!

Think about it like this:

If I have never traveled to New York City, and I told you NYC sucks, would you take my word? If I’ve never been to New York, what business do I have of telling others about the place?

Years ago before I moved to San Diego, people used to tell me people in California were crazy. These people had never even lived in California! Personally, I found I loved California — except for the taxes.

So, why do people who have middle-class assets give others advice about having riches? I’ll tell you that not having money won’t make you happy either!

HOW HAPPY ARE YOU WITH YOUR FINANCIAL CONDITION?

Never let anyone tell you money won’t make you happy, especially when they make $75K or less.

Here’s what I want you to do — take areas of your life and measure your happiness in that area on a scale of 1–100. Marriage, finances, business, income, kids, spiritual, physical — rate each one. You don’t need to have a 100 to be happy; 90 and above is fine for me.

Anytime you are struggling in some area of your life, stop and ask yourself; where am I on a scale of 1- 100? If your response is below 90, then ask yourself, what can you do to increase your happiness in that area to over 90?

Where are you on happiness in regard to your finances?

If you are below 90, there is a problem.

Get access to the livestream of the 10X Growth Conference this weekend and let’s fix this.

75K may or may not make you jovial. But I’m willing to bet $1 million won’t make you less happy.

Be great,
