We must be a bunch of not to have figured this out by now. All this time, I thought that happiness was being the bomber, and not the bombee.....

Survey shows money can help buy happiness

Japanese women are cheerier than men, people grow glummer as they age, and money can buy happiness-up to a point. [T]hose were among the findings of a recent survey on what makes Japanese people happy, the researcher, Osaka University professor Yoshiro Tsutsui, said Friday.

A majority were pretty satisfied with their lot in life-only 13 percent of the 4,224 respondents gave themselves a "happiness rating" of four or lower on a scale of zero to 10.

Men tended to be a bit less happy than women, perhaps because Japan's male-dominated society means they have bigger social responsibilities, Tsutsui said in a report on the survey.

Happiness rose along with per capita income until earners reached the highest bracket, at which point it dipped somewhat.

"It seems when people are satisfied with their income, other factors then matter more," Tsutsui told Reuters.

so this makes Dick Cheney and Haliburton the happiest persons in the world!

Hm. I think happiness is linked to wealth, not income. Income is the money you earn by working or producing a product/service. Wealth is the money your money earns.

PLUS--it all depends on your attitude and education.

Lack of income/work can make you depressed. Depression leads to the lack on income, even when you're working.

The best formula, I believe, is to work at something you love, have wealth built by you or others with your income.
