Money Really Can't Buy Happiness


It's an old adage that's floated around for years, but now we finally have scientific data to back it up: money really can't buy happiness. A study published in the June 30th issue of the journal Science says that income really doesn't have much impact at all on a person's daily happiness level. The study goes on to say that the more money people have the tenser they tend to be and the less time they spend on simple leisure activities.

So although most people (myself included) tend to think that having just a little more money would go a long ways towards reducing stress levels, it might not be as green as we think on the other side of that fence.
