£22,100 is enough

Independent article

It is often thought, that money does not buy happiness. This, is complicated by the research from the University of Warwick. Their research tells us that a country's life satisfaction levels 'peak' when the GDP is £22,100, and anything above that the satisfaction levels begin to 'drop'. In my opinion I think that Warwick make a valid and reasonable point, however I personally do not agree with the article. How can we put a specific price on happiness? The answer is we can't. I think that research into peoples emotions is interesting as we can see how people respond to differing stimuli but we cannot accurately give a judgement on an emotion and certainly we cannot put a price on it. This is because different things make people happy and this is why putting a price on happiness is impossible.
