Irrelevant. They have enough personal wealth to live comfortably and still seek more.

According to the premise of your thread, what does that mean?

sociopaths also lie


making money is not evil

the study did not find that

It found that money and mindlessly seeking more money makes most of them unsatisfied

Most of them?

Cite the survey sample size.

Since Taylor and McCartney are both very rich and still seek more wealth, are they unsatified?

Its a quick and interesting read


they make money to compete with the jones


it leaves them with unsatisfied lives


when you place things over people you empty the human soul

its too easy for the wealthy to get caught in that


it leaves them empty and feeling like life is shallow


wealth makes it harder to be happy when you reach a certain level of wealth


what fools

The research Norton has conducted illustrating this phenomenon is dispiriting. In a paper published earlier this year, he and his collaborators asked more than 2,000 people who have net worths of at least $1 million (including many whose wealth far exceeded that threshold) how happy they were on a scale of 1 to 10, and then how much more money they would need to get to 10. “All the way up the income-wealth spectrum,” Norton told me, “basically everyone says [they’d need] two or three times as much" to be perfectly happy.

BS.

This is the study.

Two samples of more than 4,000 millionaires reveal two primary findings. First, only at high levels of wealth—in excess of $8 million (Study 1) and $10 million (Study 2)—are wealthier millionaires happier than millionaires with lower levels of wealth, though these differences are modest in magnitude. Second, controlling for total wealth, millionaires who have earned their wealth are moderately happier than those who inherited it. Taken together, these results suggest that, among millionaires, wealth may be likely to pay off in greater happiness only at very high levels of wealth, and when that wealth was earned rather than inherited.

Funny, it doesn't say what you think it does, does, it?

"While the sample sizes of our study are relatively large for this population – millionaires – we cannot be certain that they are representative of millionaires in general."

Let me just say that if you have your health- you are rich already!

Now just think how many people we can make rich with a National Healthcare System!

Did you see where I went with that! LOL!

And when will people like you realize that when it comes to big money it has to be spent correctly? Do you know how to do that?
