The study shows that a Filipino should have $28,264 approximately P1.3 million a year to be happy. That’s at least Php 110,000 earning each month. That’s a huge amount, isn’t it? Especially to those people who are minimum wage earners.
According to the study, countries such as Australia, Israel and Bermuda have the highest price of happiness. Their happiness is amounting to $143,933, $135,321, and $130,457 while Argentina, Angola, and Suriname have the lowest price of happiness amounting to $6,799, $8,788, and $8,921.
