    "Most people vastly overestimate the extent to which more money would improve our lives.  The daily activities most associated with happiness, [studies show], are sex, socializing after work, and

    having dinner with others.

    According to one study, joining a group that meets just once a month  produces  the  same  happiness  gain as  doubling  your income.

    According to another, being married produces a psychic gain equivalent to more than $100,000 a year."
