Considering the model composed above, let us accept that 100 individuals procuring between $1000 to $10000 per month were approached to rate their degree of monetary happiness. A student making $2000 monthly might be on an 8/10 scale, while a mother of 3 procuring $5000 rates 3/10. It uncovers that a simple amount of income does not represent happiness but we need to see the context and the situation of the population.
