> _“The correlation between income and #wellbeing […] is weak, even if statistically robust. […] The difference between the medians of #happiness at household incomes of $15,000 and $250,000 is about five points on a 100-point scale. The flattening and accelerating patterns are even smaller modulations of a small effect. […] The effect of an approximately fourfold difference in #income is about equal to the effect of being a caregiver, twice as large as the effect of being married, about equal to the effect of a weekend, and less than a third as large as the effect of a headache.”_
@tripu “The effect of a weekend” - love that as a unit of comparison! 😆
