Default Re: Study: Money Does Not Buy Much Happiness

This is so true, at least in my case. I am living the reverse...rather than more money we now have less money because I became a WAHM last year. But we have more happy times as a family, better meals, I am able to bargain shop, I can chauffeur my daughter to activities (before she wasnt able to participate as no one was availableto take her)....etc, etc...

The added money bought 'things' but what our family really needed was someone to have the time to care for everything.

This has worked beautifully for us....and if you ask (which I often do just to keep the pulse) DH and DD3 do not feel like this was a sacrifice...rather, they feel it was the best thing for us.
