Money cannot buy happiness!

Jan

“Money cannot buy you happiness, but the lack of it can certainly make you progressively miserable.” So starts an article in the Huffington Post concerning research by the Nobel Prize in Economic winner Daniel Kahneman. I happen to agree with this. In my experience, there is a level of income, depending on your age, location and responsibilities, below which life becomes a struggle, where insecurity and worry become issues. Above that threshold, happiness is up to you.

The critical threshold? In the US it appears to be about $80,000 per year. Statistically, the further below this threshold someone earns, the more miserable they get.

Day 53

Pompom finished his 7th weekly chemotherapy. I thought it was the 8th, but I guess the first one does not count. Today's chemo is something Pompom gets sick usually. I will wait and see how it goes.

My daughter went back to NY last night and will be back this summer. I want to make sure my daughter will see Pompom again. I will do my best to treat Pompom.
