Have you seen the articles in NewsTIME and elsewhere WRT to a study
that shows that an income $75,000 per annum buys happiness for today's
average American? More money may increase a person's self-esteem, but
it doesn't increase happiness, essentially defined as having enough
money not to have to worry about not having enough money.
