Too bad this article makes the flawed assumption that getting a higher salary is just better.

I recommend reading Kahneman... here: http://www.pnas.org/content/107/38/16489.full.pdf

That's a rather poor interpretation of the study. The study profiles salary among different income groups, not the difference between $110k/year and $120k/year.

I read the paper but grant my ability to understand it is limited. My interpretation is built on what's discussed at the end of Kahneman's Ted presentation: https://youtu.be/XgRlrBl-7Yg?t=1015

Is that why the downvote? I linked the paper people can make their own interpretation... that's at least as praise worthy as "common sense".

This paper is such bullshit unless you adjust for regional COL. 75K a year is less than half the median income in my zip code.
