If I’d Just Get Rich and Famous, I’d be so Happy

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on all things GenPink.

Psychology professors at the University of Rochester research college students for 2 years after graduation to study the affects of achieving the goals they set out to accomplish. I’m not sure what it is about this study and this video that rubs me the wrong way, but while I’m figuring out how to put that annoyance into words I thought I’d pass it along.

Read and learn more about the study: Further Research on Money and Happiness * Get Rich Slowly.

So what are your thoughts? Am I the only one who has furrowed eyebrows watching this video?

It’s because it’s so “duh.” No one really believes that being rich and famous will make you happy.

But, what about studying the students whose goals are to like…be an actor? Be a politician?

It’s a mediocre and uncomprehensive news report on a mediocre and uncomprehensive study.

Ha of course being rich and famous doesn’t make you happy. But being poor can really stress you out!
