How happy are you with life? How abundant is your money?

One study states that the ideal income point is $95,000 for life evaluation and $60,000-$75,000 for emotional well-being. “These findings on income and happiness have practical and theoretical significance at the individual, institutional and national levels. They point to a degree of happiness adaptation, and that money influences happiness through the fulfillment of both needs and increasing material desires.” Andrew T. Jebb the lead author of the study at Nature Human Behavior.

The source of happiness doesn’t come from money but from within us. Throughout this article, we will dive deeper into our insights on life and money and how to be happy and abundant.

Insights for Life & Money Quadrants

I characterize life and money into four quadrants:

1. Unhappy Life Abundant Money
2. Unhappy Life Limited Money
3. Happy Life Limited Money
4. Happy Life Abundant Money

Unhappy Life Abundant Money

There are two types of rich people-happy rich and unhappy rich. How can this be? You may ask.

Many people are motivated to make money to prove their importance or significance. They always see their value in comparison to others based on richness, but they would never gain peace and happiness because there is always someone else who has more money. Some others are motivated to earn respect, attract attention from others, or even love from others. These people will never be truly happy because the respect and love that they receive from others are not genuine or authentic. These unhappy riches are living in fears that, once they lose money, they become alone.

To become happy in life, these people need to learn that happiness comes from within and learn to stay happy with or without money. People in this quadrant are learning a lot about love, kindness, compassion, and forgiveness, which are precious virtues to develop. However, they have opportunities to complete the learnings and move on to other quadrants.

Unhappy Life Limited Money

Many people are not in a happy relationship with money, affecting their happiness in general. Many of them are working hard every day to support their living and pay the bills, and not seeing much improvement in money situations. They feel they have to postpone their dreams because of money.

Their unhappy feelings toward money are working as a negative money magnet and create an unhappy flow of money. To become happy in life, these people need to learn that happiness comes from within and learn to stay happy with or without money.

People in this quadrant are learning a lot about patience, tolerance, strength, and faith, which are precious virtues to develop and not easy to learn in other quadrants. However, they have opportunities to learn fast and move on to quadrant 3 and 4 and experience what they truly deserve.

Happy Life Limited Money

There are a growing number of people who are finding happiness in life with or without money. They believe that, if something happens to cause money challenges, they will always find a way to solve it. But this does not mean they are fully satisfied with their money life.

People in this quadrant have peace and happiness in their life. Many of them are continuing to deepen their inner growth and sharing their learning with others. If they wish, they can expand their service to broader areas and audience, while experiencing more freedom, joy, and fulfillment in life.

Happy Life Abundant Money

It is always a refreshing and learning experience to meet people who are happy and have abundant money. They are open, humble, and genuine.

People in this quadrant have financial freedom and they do not work for money. They work for joy and fulfillment. They have a clear vision for how they want to invest time, energy, and money for the benefit of others, and that gives them joy and fulfillment.

So how can you be happy and abundant?

First, you need to become happy with money. Create happy feelings for money through visualization, release limiting beliefs and feelings about money and become a happy money magnet.

Next, create an abundance of money. Understand the energy of money, learn how to create a happy money flow and create a happy money flow.

Lastly, transform your money life. Transform daily life with happy money and create a vision for a happy money life.
