It is kind of interesting that this forum seems to be dominated by younger people and people who seem to be focused on makeing large amounts of money.
CNN has set up a special section of articles dealing with the scientific study of happiness.
So far, I have read an article that has stated that money will not contribute to happiness significantly unless someone is in abject poverty. After $50,000 a year more money will make hardly any difference in happiness levels.
The article stated that people tend to get happier as they get older with the exception of extremely aged people. Younger people were the most unhappy people. Kind of interesting as a poll on this forum showed that most PD enthusiasts are in their 20's.
