'IS HAPPINESS PROPORTIONAL TO INCOME.....?'

 Bertrand Russell believes this statement may be true... more money can buy more goods which definitely gives happiness to people. By this arguement, we can assume that a person who has two cars and two houses is twice as happy than a man who has only one car and one house.

However, there have been cases to prove that this happiness is short-lived and only exists until it gives him respect and admiration from others in society.

On the other hand, there is a vast majority of people whose desires are easily satisfied. For them money is important only as far as it fulfils their basic needs. Therefore, happiness is a subjective concept. It differs from person to person, and the amount of money does not decide the extent of human happiness.
