AP POLL ON MONEY AND HAPPINESS... MASLOW WAS RIGHT TO SOME DEGREE

Interesting poll money and happiness:

People who make more than $75,000 a year are far more likely than those who make $25,000 or less to say are "very satisfied" with their lives — 56 percent of the higher-income group compared with 24 percent of the lower-income group, according to Associated Press polling.

Money alone doesn't equal satisfaction, however. People who are married and have college degrees were more likely to be "very satisfied" than others who had equal incomes, the polling found. (full article)

I guess this supports Abraham Maslow's theory of hierarchy of needs.

The Jones' friends from my prior post must be part of the 44% of those earning more than $75,000/year that are not "very satisfied" with their lives.
