financial happiness formula

happiness = what we have
                    what we want

If you happiness quotient is less than one, then you are unhappy.

eg #1. $100,000                                                                                                            
          3x private school ed, big house in nice suburb, annual overseas holiday, BMW

= 0.5 = unhappiness

eg #2. $100,000                                                                                                      
           house in modest suburb, modest car, state school ed, annual beach holiday

= 1.2 = happy

  2. Tricky isn't it! Wanting more than you have makes you unhappy!
