Msny people thinks that money can solve everything in the world. In the world of Great Gatsby many characters believed that money saves everything, like Daisy and Tom running away But, in todays world, many people don't believe that money solve everything. People can be happy when they recive a raise or an promotion.

From a lecture series presented by Professor Mark Leary, Ph.D.

Does money make people happy? We don't have all the answers by any means, but we do know much more about happiness than ever. And the bottom line is that scientific research suggests that most of the things that people believe make them happy really won't-at least not in the long run. So, let's unravel the mystery of happiness.

Seriously, Can You Buy Happiness?

So what does make people happy? Many people think that they will be happier if they just had more money. What are the facts, here?

Well, research shows that it's certainly difficult to be truly happy if you live in poverty. If you're always hungry or cold or living in unsafe surroundings or always owe somebody money, happiness can be elusive. So, below a certain income level, poor people are in fact less happy and less satisfied with their lives than most of us.

But above the poverty level, things get complicated.

Researchers at Princeton University analyzed data from a sample of over 450,000 adults in the United States. These respondents reported their annual income, and they rated how much they experienced positive emotions on the previous day. Emotional quality was assessed by questions asking people to think about the previous day and to rate how much happiness and enjoyment they experienced, and how much they smiled and laughed.

The results showed that, up until an income of somewhere between $60,000 and $75,000-in 2010 dollars-more money was associated with feeling a little bit more happy. So a higher proportion of people who make, say, $70,000 tend to be happier than people who make, say, $40,000. The difference isn't large, but it is statistically significant.

Money "Fixes Problems"

The reason that money increases happiness up to a point seems to be that having a certain amount of money helps to fix certain problems in life that make people stressed out and unhappy. If my car breaks down, and I don't have enough money to fix it, that's stressful. If I have a health problem and not enough money, I have two sets of worries-my health and my money. If I get divorced and there's not enough money for legal costs and keeping up two houses, the financial issues make the breakup worse than it would otherwise be.

So, it's not so much that money makes people happy as that money can help to solve problems that would otherwise lower our happiness. So, having a certain amount of money helps take the sting out of our adversities.

But, here's the interesting thing: after people have somewhere between $60,000 and $75,000 a year, there's no relationship between income and happiness.

Let me say that again, once a person has about $75,000 a year, having more money is not associated with greater happiness! Not at all. The average millionaire is no happier than the average person who makes $75,000 a year.

Many people have trouble reconciling this finding with the fact that they know that they feel happy when they get a raise at work, even a small raise. Or they may even feel happy when they find a quarter on the sidewalk! But that's a very fleeting feeling.

The day you get your raise, you probably are happier; and maybe even the day after that. But how long does that glow last? Many people think that money will bring them lots of happiness for a long time, but it actually brings them only a little happiness for a short time.

And, you can see that this is true if you think about your own earning history. People generally make more money as they get older. So, many of you who are working make more money today than you did, say, 10 years ago. Are you happier now on a daily basis because you make more money?

And, if more money makes people happy, then as a society, we ought to be much happier today than people were, say, 50 or 60 years ago. Even adjusting for inflation, the average person in the United States is much better off than they were in, say, 1940. In 1940, a third of all houses still didn't have running water and indoor toilets! But national polls show that people actually rated themselves happier in the 1940s than they do today.

I know that it seems like it, but having more money and big screen TVs and expensive cars don't make people happier. Of course, this is something philosophers have observed for hundreds of years. But now science is showing just how right they were.

(He had passed visibly through two states and was entering upon a third. After his embarrassment and his unreasoning joy he was consumed with wonder at her presence. He had been full of the idea so long, dreamed it right through to the end, waited with his teeth set, so to speak, at an inconceivable pitch of intensity. Now, in the reaction, he was running down like an overwound clock.)

In chapter 5 Gatsby has been waiting for 5 years in order to finally gained true happiness: Daisy. Gatsby has been a nervous wreck after Nick invited his cousin over for tea. Gatsby was very nervous after seeing Daisy for the first time. Even though Gatsby waited for several years for this moment, he is gaining more acceptance on what it means to be happy. Also Gatbsy has changed things in order to make daisy happy: He got rids of his parties and fired all of his staff.

As a defender, I have to defend the other teams attack and trying not to get scored on. I makes me happy when I make a huge play on the defensive side which leads us into winning the game. An example would be during my JV2 soccer season, I saved many opportunities which could of lead toward goals. Plus, I would come up against taller and sometimes faster forwards and wingers I am happy when I do not let their best player score against us. In order to become the best, you must play against the best

Soccer makes me happy because of the adrenaline rush you get from running and beating a defender and scoring. It makes me happy when my travel team is considered one of the best teams in the state in our age group. After leaving this team at the end of the year,We worked several 100 hours together, and we had some great times together.

Sports can make people happy during the high points and low points of their seasons. Many sports fan are happy when their teams win a game or just pretend to be happy for that team that is just winning. An example will be during the NCAA tournament(March Madness). Many fans will vote for their favorite college team to win, but became happy when the colleges biggest rival losses. Many fans will become fake fans/bandwagoners who just like the teams because of the teams winning streak. This makes that college very happy because more merchandise will be sold and the college is getting more television publicity.

If you're an avid sports fan or player, you're all too familiar with the inevitable heartbreak that comes with the love of your team. You can easily get lost in the game. Your team's losses are your losses. Their errors are your errors.

Despite these "lows," research suggests that both playing and watching sports ultimately really do make us happier. We love rooting for the underdogs. Not to mention that getting involved with a team as a kid can help with depression risk and low self-esteem.

Happify, a website and app dedicated to helping people build skills for happiness through science-based activities and games, broke down all the ways sports can benefit our lives. Check out the infographic below (then root, root, root for the home team -- it's good for you).

During Freshman & Sophomore year at Neuqua Valley, I have been apart of the Media Program. I am one of the students who produce Wildcat Weekly (Formal class is Broadcast Journalism & Production II). This makes me happy because I get to produce news stories for the entire world to see, but I can be very nerve racking because maybe their will be people who don't like what I have produced. Wildcat Weekly also makes me happy because I get a lot of respect from my other classmates, because I am taking a risk, by taking this class. Wildcat Weekly is only meant for Juniors/Seniors. Also Its happy when people thinks that I am a junior but really I am a sophomore.

Many people think that money is the only thing that makes people happy. But many people are mistaken. An example of people think that money is everything would be a experiment on YouTube where they stabled money to a suit and walked around New York City. Many people took money just for no reason, for example for tips. When a homeless man needed money for food he only took a couple of bucks to survive. In my opinion in order to be happy you don't need to have all of the expensive tangible items, you just need to be around people who care about you.
