Question
The 'n' curve theory can be used to understand the relationship between wealth and happiness by illustrating that there is an optimal point of wealth that maximizes happiness. According to the theory, this point is an income of $75,000. Earning less than this amount may lead to unhappiness due to financial stress and lack of resources. However, earning more than this amount does not necessarily lead to increased happiness. This is because additional wealth beyond this point may bring about its own stresses and complications, such as increased responsibility and expectations, which may not contribute to overall happiness.

The "n" curve — The "n' curve theorizes that that too much can be just as bad as too little. This pertains to most anything, and surprisingly to wealth. Many believe that more money equals more happiness, but according to the "n" curve, an income of $75,000 sits at the very top of the "n." Either side, whether it be more money or less money, did not make someone happier.
