An article which caught my eye on Msn Careers:
Will a bigger salary make you happier?
So it has been proven statistically by Princeton University researchers that the link between money and happiness is mostly an illusion. But this is also an age-old theory.
"Even if you do reach a higher income level, earning more money doesn't necessarily mean more smiles -- in fact, it probably means more stress. We overlook the fact that earning more typically means working more. Working more means less time with family, friends, and for yourself. If you could earn double your income by working double the hours, would you?"
I totally agree with the above. However I don't earn double my income when I work double my hours.
"Higher-income people tend to be tenser and devote more time to "obligatory" activities like work, shopping and childcare..."
SHOPPING OBLIGATORY? Okay maybe one is obliged to do some retail therapy so as to release stress temporarily but sigh, it's only temporary for stress always bounces back the next morning after the shopping. :\
But people are never satisfied?
Scary shit.
I'll rather be a farmer.
This is my pre-disappearance post. Goodbye.
