Default Happiness is £255 a week

But of sillyness from the worlds leading newspaper , I did picture new refugees and reading some of the lifestyles they well could be.
All the we have to go refugees on here must be the super rich who lead unhappy lifes?



THE happiest Brits earn just £255 a week, a report revealed yesterday.

Researchers quizzed 10,000 workers and 5,000 families — and found those on modest wages lead far more contented lives than big earners.

Average UK pay is £19,936 a year, but people earning just two-thirds of that — £13,290 — were the most satisfied, the survey found.

The report authors also found that a THIRD of the super-rich were unhappy.
