Pride is the root of all evil. It is pride that makes an individual want to be better than someone else. So, they strive to get more material things than others. In the past it was the bartering system. And now it is the fiat system. Without pride who need all the material things that money can buy?

"...researchers found people who spent their money on experience were happier than those who spent their money on material items..."

I spent my money on the experience of going bankrupt & it didn't make me happier. ;^)

Scientists deal with problems, that's why they have more money. Wait, some of them have so little money.

You are right.
I am the so-little-money scientist.

Real scientist is working for his dream.
They eat less and have bad health.

Science: "More Money, More Problems"; "No Money, No Problems."

The correct quote is that "the love of money is the root of all evil".

I don't know about the affects of too much cash, but I would bet a large amount of cash that this idiotic endeavor (this particular study) was paid for with US tax-payer cash. That makes me unhappy.

Economics 101. Things are scarce. Who gets what? Markets efficient. Some markets inefficient. Some governments corrupt. Some just stupid. Some are both. USA is long term both. China is short term both. That's 40% of world. 90% countries support WTO. Sincere commitments are rare in world trade. Big is beautiful in world trade and within countries. Bottom line: poor is bad but its not your fault. Apologies. Robin Williams.
