Wealthier is Healthier But Not Happier Study says

A Princeton University study found that when it comes to being wealthy it does not make most Americans who are any happier on the whole from those who are less well off but their health in general is much better. The study found that seniors between the ages of 55-64 who were living below the poverty line are 600% more likely to be suffering from a long term health condition that limited their activity than wealthy individuals in the same age group. The study also indicated that the poor were at increased risk of heart attack and did not live as long generally.
