Answer: C. There are factors outside of money that can influence happiness

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Both studies are telling readers that money is important to a certain degree. For example, in the study ''You Can Buy Happiness if it's an Experience'', the author is describing that money can be positive in that way if people are spending it on experiences and not material goods.
  • The author of "Study: 'High Incomes Don't Bring You Happiness!'' is describing that after somebody makes 75k a year, that money does not affect his happiness and in that way, he is showing the readers that money can make someone feel happy or better until they reach some certain amount.

Both authors are showing in their studies that money does not create happiness but it can affect it.
