In an article entitled Money tilts the happiness scale, a persuasive argument is made that money and happiness are connected. More specifically, wealth and happiness. The article suggests that with wealth comes the ability to spend more time doing things we really enjoy, rather than things that are unpleasant (such as earning income). If money buys a housekeeper, for example, that eliminates time spent doing housework. If, on the other hand, money buys a fancy car and you still have to do the housework, the money probably hasn’t made you any happier.
It should be noted that “work” is one of those activities that does not bring most people happiness, so the pursuit of money is not the pursuit of happiness. Wealth, not income, is positively correlated with happiness.
