What Price happiness?

thesundaytimes, Jan 10, 2010

Are Singaporeans happier when they have lots more money?

Result of study:
  • Singaporeans earning less than $2K a month who enjoy life the most.
  • The higher the household income, the more a singaporean feels that he or she has not achieved much in life.
  • You may live in a million-dollar home but if you owe the bank a lot of money, you are not going to enjoy very much.
  • The fear of not being able to sustain the high life "can be a source of strain or unhappiness"
  • Happy people know and use their strengths. Naturally, they are better able to enjoy life, which leads to happiness.
  • Ability to enjoy life and the feeling of achievement ultimately bring about happiness.
  • Contentment is the key to happiness.
  • Happiness is a state of mind.
