How Much Money Is Enough Money? Not As Much As Americans Might Think | Forbes

A recent study by university psychologists across 33 countries found that the majority of people believe an ideal life could be achieved with 10 million or less.

The American Answer challenges the notion of people's desire for unlimited wants by revealing that most Americans believe they would need 100 million dollars for their ideal life.

The preference for at least 100 billion dollars is in stark contrast to the majority of participants in Russia, India, and Argentina who said that 1 million or less would allow them to live comfortably. This raises questions about wealth ideals across different countries. Younger city-dwelling people who value power, success, and independence tend to desire more or unlimited amounts of wealth. They also tend to live in countries with a greater collective focus and acceptance of power differences.
