In this episode, we welcome Rhonda Culbertson for a discussion on 'Wealth, Poverty, and Happiness: How Much Money is Needed for the Good Life?' Rhonda is a Community Outreach Librarian at Indiana University South Bend, a lead coordinator for the Ecumenical Bible Study, and a long time member at the Cathedral.

In this conversation, we take a brief look at some research articles on money and happiness, and ask the following questions.

1. What is the relationship between money and happiness according to academic research?

2. How does the relationship between money and happiness vary across different cultures and demographic groups?

3. Can money buy happiness? Does it matter how we spend our money?

4. How does faith and religion impact the relationship between money and happiness?
