AP Poll: People Link Income to Happiness

WASHINGTON - Money may not buy happiness, but for many people it apparently puts a down payment on satisfaction. People who make more than $75,000 a year are far more likely than those who make $25,000 or less to say are "very satisfied" with their lives — 56 percent of the higher-income group compared with 24 percent of the lower-income group, according to Associated Press polling.

Little David was in his 4th grade class when the teacher asked the children what their fathers did for a living.
All the typical answers came up - fireman, policeman, salesman, doctor, lawyer, etc.David was being
uncharacteristically quiet, so the teacher asked him about his father. "My father's an exotic dancer in a
gay cabaret and takes off all his clothes in front of other men and they put money in his underwear.
Sometimes, if the offer is really good, he will go home with some guy and make love with him for money.
The teacher, obviously shaken by this statement, hurriedly set the other children to work on some
exercises and took little David aside to ask him, "Is that really true about your father?" "No," said David,
"He works for US Airways,but I was too embarrassed to
say that in front of the other kids."

Money may not buy happiness, but somehow it seems more comfortable to cry in a Porsche Carrera than a Kia Sephia.

A Lexus, or a Mercedes Benz!

My 6 year old said the same a few weeks ago--cept the part about the gay cabaret. My wife asked if he wanted to do what I do when he grew up--he said no--I want to have a job that doesn't travel and makes more money like my friends dads. Funny how things change. Twenty years ago great profession--today just a ho-hum existence. Best of luck to U employess.

It's sad, but as time passes and inflation continues at it's current rate from gas, food,medical, to a roof over your head. As in most third worlkd countries, its the end of the middle class. We'll be a BIG country of the Haves and the Have Nots.

so now its ok to gay bash? We are one step away from pure evil. Jimmy Swaggart would be proud. One thing not mentioned in the original post is that you have a choice...should I work for U or not? I had that choice too and I said to myself, "no, I don't think I should work for U". My being a homosexual unfortunately, and I mean unfortunately in the vague sense that I wake up every day thinking "God I wish I werent gay", is not a choice. Shame on you.

It's just a joke, DayBefore...nothing more. Kinda like a "dumb blonde" joke. Didnt offend me, and Im also a gay man

 

[daybeforecommuter]

what up gay brother from the west. I kinda know it was a joke. Just like the joke I made about waking up everyday wishing I were straight. But when is enough, well, enough. Why are you still there? And when will we stop condoning things by silence. I am not a threat to your family by having something of one of my own. Have you given money to the democrats. They are our only hope. Wish we had another choice but we dont.

As for the money thing...it is a key ingredient to happiness on this plane of being that we are on. Please, don't go to work for USAirways. You can do better

Get a life!!!!!! Everyone in life is "bashed" some way or another. The littlest kid in school is picked on, the punker is picked on, the geek is picked on, the rich kid is picked on, etc, etc, etc. The problem with our world is everyone has to be sooooo politically correct. Get over it, live your life to the fullest and don't assume that because you fit into a certain group that the whole world is against you.

Well said, Borescope

If it makes you feel any better if Little David's Mom worked for US Airways little David would have told the class she was a topless dancer and somtimes, if the offer is really good, she will go home with some guy and make love with him for money.

Now I supposed I just PO'ed a different crowd!

Borescope: my thoughts exactly
Good motto to live by: "Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, apple martini in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO, WHAT A RIDE!".
