Our readingWhat is a korrent?
Drawn from what Arthur C. Brooks said
happiness What makes a life go well: whether it is meaning, love, virtue, enough money, or simply expecting less.
On the topicWhat makes a good life?under our view: Money is worth having for the freedom it buys over your own time
My own assessment of the evidence is that money alone cannot buy happiness, nor can spending money to acquire possessions make one happy; but having the money to pay for experiences with loved ones, to free up time to spend on meaningful activities, and to support good causes does enhance happiness.
