#6 A Higher Salary Makes People Happy
A bigger salary makes you happier for about two minutes or so. There’s no other way to “buy” happiness than with money used for a specific purpose – to buy time. What does a better paid job entail? It means you’ll be working extra hours, you’ll be doing extra work, and you’ll have a lot more responsibilities. Does that make you happy? Of course not; some people would rather trade a higher salary for better working hours or a more flexible schedule. Free time should make you happy because a rested body will help your mind work with a lot more pleasure.
