Moderators Bravus Posted January 16, 2005 Moderators Posted January 16, 2005 OK, disclaimer, disclaimer, stats don't prove anything, correlation is not causality, this is not intended to diss non-churchgoers, blah blah. Just thought this was an interesting couple of stats: It turns out that money can, at least partly, buy happiness: those with higher incomes report themselves as being happier. Maybe that just makes sense with less stress about getting the bills paid weekly. But the interesting results were: Of people who don't go to church weekly, only 4.8% identified themselves as 'very happy', whereas of those who do, 56.6% of people identified them this way. In terms of happiness level, a happy, stable marriage is the equivalent of an extra $100,000 a year income. How many extra hours would you have to work to make an extra 100k? And mightn't it be smarter to invest some of that time in the marriage? Anyway, thought it was an interesting study. Quote Truth is important
Guest Posted January 16, 2005 Posted January 16, 2005 Bravus... signs of the times.. I can see it in the future where one will have to make 3 posts of disclaimers and then the 4th post will be the theme idea in a micro sound bite for the attention span of the fruit fly Quote
