Do you know how the $75,000 was reached? More specifically, I'm wondering where holder of the $75,000 is located. Is it specifically an amount of 75k where life satisfaction plateaus or is it a certain standard of living that would require more or less funds if the random plateaued person was in a different city? If they both earn the same amount, does someone from Oklahoma City have an equivalent amount of satisfaction as one in Palo Alto?
