  • Hello

  • It's all about the money, money, money

  • We don't need no money, money

  • We're just tryimg to make the world dance.

  • Forget about the price tags.

  • Hello guys

  • Super popular topic today

  • How much money do you need to be happy

  • I'm going to share what I think

  • about myself

  • and I'm going to share my thought on

  • the amount of money you need to be happy.

  • We also gonna ask other people

  • We gonna call people from other countries

  • and ask them what they think.

  • So how much money do I need

  • to be happy

  • First I need to define happiness

  • to myself

  • So what I think

  • that I don't need millions of dollars.

  • Millions of dollars actually

  • don't help you evolve.

  • There were times in Russia

  • when the oil prices were super high.

  • Many people had access to a lot of money.

  • They ended up buyimg private jets,

  • buying yachts,

  • and comparing themselves to others

  • just by handbags and by brands.

  • It didn't really help them.

  • evolve as a person.

  • It didn't help them become a better person.

  • That's why I think we need the amount of money

  • to feel comfortable.

  • I want to concentrate on my business

  • and I don't want to spend time thinking

  • "should I go to Mcdonalds today

  • to have lunch because it's cheaper?

  • than the place next to my office

  • where they serve vegetarian organic food?"

  • Or maybe I should drive to that meeting today

  • and not take an Uber.

  • I want to illuminate those thoughts

  • from my mind and concentrate on

  • what's really important on my business.

  • Or for example take my blogging activity

  • many people complain that the sound is not good

  • or maybe the camera is not the best one.

  • But imagine if I was a beginner blogger

  • and I had access to thousands of dollars

  • and I thought

  • I should get the best camera

  • and I should get the best microfone.

  • I should also rent a studio

  • and only then I'd be making my first video

  • and inagine I've done that.

  • I spend 10 000 $

  • I actually made my first video

  • and it got hundred of views.

  • This is really a failure

  • This demotivates me to continue

  • blogging activity

  • and I realise I've spent all those money in vain.

  • This is why I think that

  • for example for blogging

  • I'm happy that I didn't have a lot of money

  • when I started

  • so I filmed everything with my iphone.

  • Only then I generated enough revenue

  • from my YouTube,

  • I was able to get a new camera,

  • a new microfone

  • and my videos got better.

  • This rule applies to the age when you

  • 20's or 30's

  • You just need enough money to continue developing your talents

  • with growing your company or growing your youtube blog

  • or concentrating on your job you really like.

  • You don't have to have too much money.

  • Not worrying about taking an Uber,

  • not worrying about buying organic food

  • in a good shop.

  • This is what makes your income just good enough

  • Of course when we grow up

  • when we have children

  • we need to think of their college

  • we need to think of their education

  • and their lifestyle

  • and this is when we need a lot more money.

  • Take your time when you're in your 20's and 30's.

  • Don't dream about becoming a millionare

  • Dream and do everything to get the amount of money

  • that would allow you to live comfortably

  • and be comfortable with what you're doing.

  • and concentrate on what really matters

  • developing your talents.

  • And you're going to say "hey marina,

  • you dind't say how much money you need to be happy."

  • This part of my life I need 6000$

  • a month to be happy.

  • It's because California is super exepensive

  • rent in California, food in California,

  • especially in Silicon valley

  • I think it's the most expensive place in the world.

  • Pearson or couple need at least 5 000

  • a month

  • to be comfortable with a place where they live

  • and to continue daily activities.

  • And develop their talents.

  • Hey, here comes the interesting part.

  • I'm going to use a service on linguatrip.com

  • I'm going to connect to other people in different countries

  • and ask them how much money do they need to be happy

  • I don't know which countries they're gonna come from

  • So we'll see together.

  • So basically you get connected to a person

  • who somewhere else in the world

  • and speaks English.

  • This is the best way to practice your English

  • because I'm nervous as well

  • because this is a random person I have to speak English

  • but it's the best practice you can get.

  • This is what happens in real life

  • You just go out and talk to people in English

  • If you can't bring English environment into your home

  • let us help you.

  • 1000 $

  • 1000 $?

  • Do you think it's enough?

  • Yes, it's enough money to be happy.

  • Hello?

  • He's just hung up on me.

  • I'm from Saudi Arabia.

  • Where are you from?

  • Cool, I'm from Russia.

  • I'm actually calling people today

  • and asking them how much money do they need to be happy.

  • How much money a month you need to be happy

  • He just said

  • that money doesn't mean happiness.

  • Many people say that.

  • Then you also need money to live comfortably.

  • He said in order to have fun

  • you'd need billions of dollars

  • But I doubt it.

  • What do you need to have fun?

  • Maybe you need to ride a private jet.

  • You can get a subscription for couple thousands a month

  • and you'd get this private jet.

  • Maybe you need to travel like crazy

  • but it's also not billions of dollars.

  • I think our wishes can be quantified

  • if you calculate the amount of money you need

  • you would need less.

  • I'm calling people today

  • to live a comfortable life.

  • How much money do you need a month to be happy?

  • I need to have 30000$ for a month

  • 30000$ that's a lot!

  • to be happy.

  • That's a lot.
