Those who say that money can't buy happiness don't know where to shop. Happiness is the sublime moment when you get out of your corsets at night. Nonetheless, as adults, many are driven to seek more income and wealth.
People do all sorts of things to rake in some extra dough.

In fact, the elements that seem to generate happiness most consistently are religion and marriage. A study of Illinois lottery winners found that a year after their bonanza, they were no happier, on average, than most people, notes Professor Oswald of Warwick University, near Coventry in Britain.
