Money Does Not Buy Much Happiness

[joe]

Since when does one's mood equate to their level of happiness? Stuff like this is bullshit, plain and simple. I normally look like I'm pissed off to high heaven, but I know I'm happy as a lark. Who needs to fucking smile all day anyway? Not me.

Not exactly the best study. How many of those high income people are living within their means? Way too many other factors to just make a blanket statement like that.

Theyre just trying to convince us all to take pay cuts.

Either that or something else.

Money can make you happy, if you do the right things with it -> travel, donate to charity, and not waste it on crap stuff like a $10,000 mobile phone tc.

money doesn't make you happy, but it helps to make you happy
as some dude once said

Hmm, I was sure I started noticing a trend here...

I'd love to see what a $10,000 mobile looked like

Check out some of the phones from Nokia's Vertu luxury brand.

There's one with 18 karat gold that costs more than $10k. The platinum version costs about $20k

That's just stupid.

Too bad we can't embed music, I'd embed "Can't Buy Me Love"

Good points made about those people may or may not be living within their means/stress from a traditional job etc. being HUGE factors in happiness.

That said, I've been poor enough to have to steal my food and rich enough to buy my dream home.

Not worring about whether the bills are going to get paid each month makes me a happier person.
