From the table above it looks as though people earning $100-$150k are happier than those earning $70-$100k. Also, surely it is self regulating. i.e if you are 92% happy at $100k and $89% happy at $160k, then surely you could make that decision for yourself to earn less. "45 percent of those surveyed said they experienced barriers that made it difficult to take part in free time activities that were important to them." How ridiculous. I am surprised that the number is not closer to 90%. Time is a finite resource so people are forced to make choices between two or more opportunities. We all know that there is NEVER enough time to do all the things we want to do. It will always be this way because there are infinite things to do and finite time to do them in.
