It is widely accepted that money can’t buy you love. Now a new study has found that it can buy you happiness – but only up to a point.

National happiness rises as a country’s gross domestic product (GDP) per capita climbs, but tails off when the rising wealth creates higher aspirations – which often lead to a sense of disappointment, according to the study from the University of Warwick.

In wealthy countries this “sweet spot” is found at around £22,100 (SGD 45,000), after which, happiness decreases as our aspirations for better-quality housing, a higher standard of education and consumer goods lead to increased levels of anxiety and stress.

Just to let you know that Singapore GDP per capita is USD51,709.45 (about SGD65,000)....
 
Got money - not necessarily happy.

No money - for sure not happy.
 
If money is evil; I volunteer to be devil.
 
I spoke to a young gal today. She say she doent mind marrying a rich man even though she is more in love with a poorer man.

Money sure can buy happiness...
 
Beer can bring me lots of happiness. Beer inspires. Beer soothes all problems and puts them in proper perspective.

Me and beer are very good friends. We know where to find each other :rolleyes:
 
Money is neither good nor evil. It depends on one's perception and love of it to make it evil or good

I am averagely happy with my life. Enuff to spend, splurge a little sometimes.

But I am increasingly digusted (unhappy) with PAP importing so many foreignors and screwing Singapore...
