Researcher has determine that money can buy happiness, as long as you have more money than others in your age group. It took a research to determine what most people have already known for many years, that they are happier when they are richer than if they were poor. Instead of increasing ones income to stay happy, another way is to find new friends that are poorer than you are. The research also conclude that physical health is still the best single predictor of happiness, so don’t go work yourself to death just to have a higher income.
They also found that relative income (comparing one’s income to the income of other people) has more impact on happiness than absolute income (the things that money can buy).
