Not everyone believes the saying, “money can’t buy happiness.” And for good reason.

Texans need to be making $96,705 or more to be happy, according to a data analysis by GOBankingRates based on academic research published by Purdue University. In Dallas, workers need to earn even more — $113,085 — to be happy.

However, Texas residents can at least find a state of emotional well-being when they hit a salary of $55,260 or, for Dallasites, a salary of $64,620. Your emotional well-being is about feeling OK day to day, while being happy means have an overall feeling of satisfaction with your life.”
