挣钱和花钱,哪个能让你对生活更满意?
英国国家统计局的调查发现,花钱才能提高你的生活满意度。
一项新研究指出,决定生活满意度的不是你的收入,而是你的支出。
英国国家统计局称:"在考虑了年龄、婚姻和就业等因素后,没有足够的数据证明家庭可支配收入和生活满意度的关系。
但是如果你的家庭开支更高,你的生活满意度通常也更高。
和家庭收入相比,开支似乎更能影响人们的生活满意度。
”除了开支以外,健康的身体、幸福的婚姻和良好的经济状况也对生活满意度有积极影响。
另外,年龄对生活满意度也有影响。
年轻人的生活满意度高于四十多岁的人,但五十岁后人们的生活满意度又会上升,到八十岁以后又会下降。
英国国家统计局的这些研究结果基于两次独立的调查:统计局的年度人口调查和税收福利影响调查。
