Can Money Buy Happiness? New Survey Says Yes!
There has been a lot of talk lately about money. Two near record lottery jackpots will do that. I can t tell you how many times this week I ve daydreamed of what I d do if I won the Powerball or Mega Millions jackpot. Quit my job? Travel? Build a new house? Literally everything would be on the table! But the old saying money can t buy happiness usually is quoted before we get too carried away. But can money buy happiness?
A new study says that, yes, it can. A new study by the University of Pennsylvania says that money can buy you happiness, and there might not even be a limit. A similar study back in 2010 found the same thing, that yes, money can make you happier, but ONLY up to around $75,000. More than that doesn t make you any happier day to day. But the new study did not find this kind of limit.
