Get Rich or Die... happy?

Get Rich or Die... happy? image

If you think that winning the lottery would make you happier... nuh uhh. Nope. Not likely.

So long as you can afford the necessities in life, massive riches and bling don't really make any difference to your overall happiness.

And worse, stupidly wealthy people find it harder to get little moments of joy from the simple things like sunsets and hamsters.

So that bloke who lives in a caravan down your road and spends every morning sipping tea on the step and taking in the day, could well be happier than the guy who drives a sports car and works 14 hour days.
