HOW much money do you need to be happy? Think about it. What’s your number? Many of us aren’t satisfied with how much we have now. That’s why we’re constantly angling for a raise at work, befriending aged relatives and springing, despite long odds, for lottery scratch tickets.

How much money you need to be happy? The notion that money can’t buy happiness has been around a long time — even before yoga came into vogue.
