What is Happiness? Gallup Global Study Says Both Money and Positive Feelings
A Gallup survey of nearly 137,000 people in 132 countries has found that money does buy you happiness when you evaluate your life in comparison with others, but that "feeling respected, being in control of your life and having friends and family to rely on in a pinch" are even stronger indicators of happiness.
