Can Money Buy Happiness?

Can Money Buy Happiness?

          You've probably heard the song, (Money) Can't Buy Me Love, but do you think that money can buy happiness?

          A recent study has shown that money can change your outlook on life. Researchers at the University of Warwick, in England, studied the effects of unexpected money on more than 9,000 families. The study concluded that winning as little as 1,000 pounds caused people to become happier about their lives. However, they also found out that gaining any amount less than 1million pound did not have a lasting effect on people's happiness .

          The experts concluded that, for people to be happy, a good marriage and good health were actually more important than money.

          They also discovered that women were usually happier than men, and that thirty-to forty- year- olds were the least likely to be happy.
