A six-month study that questioned young people in 14 countries, found that only 43 percent of those aged between 16 and 34 admitted to feeling happy with their lives. The MTV Networks International survey concluding that those from developing nations are far more likely to feel light-hearted about their lot in life, with Indians topping the tinkled pink table.
The Japanese on the other hand miserably moped in last, a meagre 8 percent of those asked claiming contentment.
Not that you’d ever guess.

I guess that means happiness comes from a positive attitude, and money is overrated.
Also, don’t watch or read the news if you want be happy:
“MTVNI said one of the trends they spotted was that young people with access to mass media tended to feel less safe as they did not have the cognitive skills to interpret real risk.”
So ignorance truly is bliss.
