Money can't buy happiness. But it helps...
I am indebted to the research wing of the Scottish 'Government' for that particular jaw-dropper (links to be added later), it having investigated life satisfaction North of the Tweed.
Our Caledonian chums belying their rep are the third perkiest Europeans after the Danes and the Swiss at 8.06 out of ten. The rest of the UK rates 13th at 7.2. *krainians are last at 4.38. Those deeming that they are living comfortably outscore those struggling for life satisfaction by a commanding margin.
Further, Morag is happier than Angus and the young & the old outdo the middle aged. Wodehouse's Scotsman with a grievance would appear to be a middle aged man, unemployed, in poor health and living in a city.
Looking grim for Labour ex MPs in 2010, isn't it?

You can skip to the end and leave a response.
My gran always used to say that money can't buy happiness...but it enables you to be miserable in comfort.
That's easy to understand. The young and the old are having a high old time. The middle aged are paying for it.
