A survey, reported in yesterday's, (Tuesday), edition of Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, of "50,000 Americans conducted in 2008 and 2009 for the Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index that included questions on people's day-to-day happiness and their overall life satisfaction, (concluded) that Happiness got better as income rose but the effect leveled out at $75,000.. Their overall sense of success or well-being continued to rise as their earnings grew beyond that point."
But $75K is the happiness point, below that we're all miserable?
According to the Associated Press, Angus Deaton, an economist at the Center for Health and Wellbeing at Princeton University, said "For folks making less than (75K) -- Stuff is so in your face it's hard to be happy. It interferes with your enjoyment."
Hmm? Suppose folks make $74, 999? They must be fit to be tried in their misery? Huh?
