Millennials said they need to earn $525,000 a year to be happy in a recent survey.
  • Millennials said in a recent survey that they need $525,000 a year to be happy.
  • That amount was more than double what other generations said they needed.
  • It's likely due to high debt loads millennials hold, along with childcare and housing costs.

Millennials want half a million dollars annually to be happy. But that's a lot higher than what both older and younger generations want, per a recent survey.
