Money can't make you happy !!

Money can't make you happy !!

The answer to the eternal question, Does money make you happy? is no, according to a new study analyzing the relationship between wealth and happiness.

They advocated that work should be breaks from leisure, rather than people taking breaks from work.
"A good life is a life that contains these basic goods and once you've got enough money for those, you have enough—so to carry on working for more is silly," 
 In 1930, Mr Keynes ( Auther) predicted that within a century per capita income would steadily rise and people's basic needs would be met, meaning that no one would have to work more than 15 hours a week.
"What has happened is that we have got a lot richer, but our workload has not actually dropped," Robert Skidelsky said. "We're on a treadmill, a work treadmill, a growth treadmill, for what end? We don't even ask the question. It's just more and more accumulation."
"The job market is controlled by employers and not employees, so people don't have the power to set their own terms and conditions of work," 
The economic slump had caused more people to be dissatisfied and question the purpose of working,
