Does Money Make You Happy?






Here's one I've been wrestling with for a while. As I was out for a nice fall walk, I ventured into a beautiful area of large, gorgeous homes up on Hamilton mountain. Of course I was drawn to the non-"cookie-cutter" exteriors, the well-kept lawns and just how well-done these homes were. But it got me thinking- "How are the lives of the people who live in these homes different than mine?" - "How do these people spend their days?" - and "Are these people any happier than I am?"

I imagine long work days- maybe commutes to Toronto and hectic traffic. I imagine the house is largely empty most of the time.
