I am a avery happy man. However, if I had to live in a house of dung....well....I think some of that happiness would go right down the toilet...so to speak.
Thank you.
Envy is for socialists.
This is only true if the X-Box 360s have already sold out, or if your girlfriend is richer than you.
Ive come to the conclusion that things dont make you happy. Money, on the other hand, when saved and not spent, gives you freedom. Freedom makes you happy. Or at least, it makes you less unhappy than you would be in its absence.
There was a study out of England a few years ago that said that people felt a lot happier and secure when they reached the $2million mark in wealth. It's like a cut off line. Below it and you are still struggling with getting more and keeping up. Above and you feel safe, and then you are freer to live life the way you want to.
