00:22you know, you see an increase in the levels of contentment in terms of satisfaction and happiness.
00:27But then past a certain amount, that might have changed with inflation now, but past a certain amount, happiness kind of dips off.
00:35100% money can make you happier. It's not even like, just having money is less stress.
00:40You don't have to stress about, like, jobs as much.
00:44Like, if you've got enough disposable income, you can be going on holiday.
00:48You don't have to be worried about, like, paying rent.
