No. 897106845RR0001 Many people think: "If on- ly I was richer, I would be happy." Not necessarily. Canadians can be ambi- tious and chase the almighty dollar. But if you are looking for the magic formula to in-for the magic formula to in-f crease happiness, don't count on that formula being more money. We have known this forWe have known this forW several decades. In 1974, economist Richard Easterlin from the University of Pennsylvania published a paper measuring economic prosperity against happi- ness. His findings showed in- dustrialized countries had experienced phenomenal economic growth over the previous 50 years. However, the happiness of citizens did not change. Money can buy many things. Money can't buy hap- piness. Perhaps it's time for a re- set. A time to rethink your priorities. Don't pursue wealth for its sake alone, pur- sue happiness. Princeton University re- searchers surveyed 1,000 peo- ple in 2010. Emotional well- being increased with a high- er salary, but only up to $75,000 per year. People always seem to want more. That seems to be human nature. We move to big cities to capture the high paying jobs. Researchers from the Vancouver School of Eco-Vancouver School of Eco-V nomics and McGill Universi- ty published a paper in the spring of 2018 reporting that Canadians living in large cit- ies are less happy than those living in smaller communi- ties. I have a suggestion. Create a financial plan with only one purpose: To make you happy. Where do you want to live, what occupation and there- fore what income potential isfore what income potential isf there? How long do you want to work? One of life's realities is that we need money to pro- vide a desired lifestyle. Now, rethink your happiness fi- nancial plan and add in some financial realities.financial realities.f Perhaps you will have to make some adjustments on what a perfect life would be. The key to this exercise is for you to start articulatingfor you to start articulatingf what type of life is most im- portant to you. Try not to make the mistake of just try- ing to make a higher income and accumulate more wealth. Your financial planYour financial planY should focus on the type of life you want to live.
