The More the Better?
There is no denying that wealth is an essential element to obtaining happiness. Every day, people toil away so as to support a decent life and enjoy the joy of material possessions. But is it true that the more money you have in your bank account, the happier person you become? The answer is obvious from the perspective of an economist. Because the marginal satisfaction a person can get diminishes with an additional dollar put into the account, a poor man's well-being from getting an extra 100 dollars is much greater than a rich man's from having the same amount. That means the more wealth a person has, the less satisfaction he/she can get from an additional dollar. So what's the point of pursuing such a great fortune if happiness is what you are looking for?
