The link between Wealth and Happiness

 The link between Wealth and Happiness 1 September 6, 2011 by Chris Nöthling Two weeks ago I had the good fortune to attend the WB Financial Annual Conference at the Sheraton Mirage at the Gold Coast, QLD. One of the key note speakers was the CEO of the Association of Financial Advisers (AFA) – Mr Richard Klipin – who commented about the value of financial planning in the life of people. He stressed that good advice changes people’s lives and that there is a nobility to the financial planning profession that is missed by the impending FOFA legislation. Mr Klipin made reference to the AFA’s Back to Basics research carried out in 2010, which highlights that consumers who were involved in an advice relationship were better planned, happier with their investments and had greater peace of mind. The concern, however, is that with 2 in 10 Consumers in an advice relationship, Australians are under-advised, underinsured and under-saved. Mr Klipin spoke about AFA’s “Make a Plan” campaign wh...

  Do we Need $75,000 a Year to Be Happy? A new study by Princeton University researchers puts a figure on happiness: $75,000 a year By Belinda Luscombe   Monday, Sept. 06, 2010 Kelly Blair for Time Happiness caps at $75K People say money doesn't buy happiness. Except, according to a new study from Princeton University's Woodrow Wilson School, it sort of does — up to about $75,000 a year. The lower a person's annual income falls below that benchmark, the unhappier he or she feels. But no matter how much more than $75,000 people make, they don't report any greater degree of happiness.
