slate.com — The relationship between money and happiness turns out to be complex. People with higher incomes today report higher levels of happiness than their poorer contemporaries.

Yeah, right on the money there bud...You are utterly stupid if you win the lottery and it screws up your life. Those sad people who sit on millions and don't do anything should kill themselves.The adage "money doesn't make you happy" is wrong. It should be "working for large amounts of money doesn't make you happy". Working long hours in stressful situations takes you away from your family and friends. That's where people have problems.... Addiction to work and greed.If you know what to spend money on then you can spend longer with your family and friends..... that's free happiness right there.

I visited Andros Island recently (the only ecological preserve in the Bahamas) and the locals had nothing. Absolutely NOTHING. This island has little to no tourism. The government will sell the locals land, wait until they have a decent foundation started on a house, then prohibit them to live or work on the land and then give them nothing in return. Even though there was a rampant problem with TB and they had nothing - the people were happy. And joyful. And giving. Anecdotal evidence that money is not necessary for happiness.
