“They say that money does not make happiness, but if I weep rather do it in the back seat of a Rolls Royce rather than those of a car of the Underground” (Marilyn Monroe).
“It's good to have money and the things money can buy, but it is also good, sometimes, check and make sure you have not lost the things that money can not buy” (George Horace Lorimer).
“Speaking in general, even if the money bring happiness, this tends to be the kind that money can buy: ie material things and sensory experiences. but these, we discover, They are transformed in turn into sources of suffering” (Tenzin Gyatso).
Denaro, Destino e Felicita – Ognuno è artefice della propria richezza
Are just some of the many quotable phrases author on the relationship between money and happiness.
But what determines happiness?
The UN (United Nations Organization) draws up for a few years, the World report on Happiness, a study looking 157 Nations and seeks to identify the country with the happiest people.
the last report, the Gold medal went to Denmark.
Then down in the ranking we find Switzerland, Iceland, Norway and Finland (always the same!).
Unfortunately l 'Italy has confirmed to the 50 th place (but there was a decline of happiness).
The interviews with the citizens of the various countries were focused on issues such as income, freedom of life choices, the absence of corruption, social support, etc..
It should therefore be noted that not all affected only the economic part, highlighting that happiness depends on many things, but I would add, also by money because, among the most obvious causes of unhappiness are indicated unemployment and corruption.
