before I started traveling, everyone told me to go to france. after I started traveling, everyone told me to visit slovenia. lake bled, specificaly.

the metric they're using for happiness is "income satiation" - when more money doesn't increase a self-reported "life evaluation" score. pretty cool.

I'm very surprised that Singapore is #4.

Yea, that makes sense.

Surprising me: Singapore is only a few thousand off at $51,000 USD equivalent median income per year.

Not surprising me: the US median income is $30,000 less than the average at about 45k per year, about a third of how much somebody needs to be happy in the United States. Even taking the US average, they're stil 50k short.
