Abstract

We live in a culture where we are told every day in the media, from TV shows to advertising in magazines, that in order to be really happy we must have a lot of things: cars, homes, appliances, stereo equipment, fancy computers, and money to go on tropical cruises and so on. The happiest people in the world are those who are the wealthiest; people without money are often shown, for example in television programs, if they are broke, as sad and depressed, living in bad neighborhoods. Is wealth really important to happiness? Is there a possibility that having a lot of money may have nothing to do with how we feel about ourselves; our lives, jobs, friendships, relationships, overall happiness and satisfaction? Or, alternatively, is it but one factor in many needed for real happiness of the individual? This paper will look at some psychological research studies in peer-reviewed journals which are examining just this problem - the link between money and happiness.
