    News flash: actually, people get happier after they win vast amounts of money. Psychology got it wrong, yet again, probably for ideological reasons.https://twitter.com/DegenRolf/status/1173837061947871233 …

        Damn one new study that conflicts with past priors means that all past studies are wrong and only this one is true? It doesn’t mean more studies are needed? Damn prof you got this academic study thing in the bag!

        Where can I volunteer to take part in one of these studies? I realize I might end up in a control group, but those are still good odds. 😉

        I got 99 problems and every single one could be solved by a tax free, lump sum of cash.

        I always remember that seeming off, guess the old adage that money doesn’t by happiness needs revising...Apparently it does 🤷🏻‍♀️

        Money isn't the only thing but it's way ahead of whatever is in second place.
