Wealth is relative. Anyone who is short of food or warmth, or lacks a home, or is abused ... Would be hard pressed to be happy. |

Yes, please define "wealthy." I venture that 99% of the people in the United States are "wealthy" by international standards, and certainly not all of them are unhappy . . . |

This might be of interest: "In 1957, the year John Galbraith was going to press with his famous book describing us as The Affluent Society , our per person income, expressed in today's dollars, was seventy-five hundred dollars. By 1990 it was over fifteen thousand, making us The Doubly Affluent Society... Compared to 1957, we now have twice as many cars per capita... and $12 billion a year worth of brand-name athletic shoes. ... We're twice as rich -- not just 20 percent richer -- yet we're no happier . ... In fact, between 1956 and 1988, the percentage of Americans who reported they were 'pretty well satisfied with your present financial situation' dropped from 42 to 30 percent." http://www.tassos-oak.com/online/10happiness.html |
