Does Money Buy Happiness (New Research Say No) A recent research study found that people are happy even in more impoverished areas. More importantly, people are more content in these places than in more affluent areas in the same countries. In other words, "happiness is not in principle related to economic outcome." More critical to happiness are feeling safe, spending time in nature, and living in a supportive community. McGill University. (2021, February 8). Happiness really does come for free: People in societies where money plays a minimal role can have very high levels of happiness. ScienceDaily.
