Having money can assure that all of my worries can be handled in the best way possible(Jan 01, 1970)
It means not wondering how I'll afford a car repair, or how I'll pay a medical bill, or worring about what would happen if I lose health insurance or if my husband would get sick. Having money can assure that all of my worries can be handled in the best way possible. I could also do things that I've always wanted to do, like tour the world, or take my entire extended and immediate family on a huge Disney vacation or cruise. I could buy a home by the beach, and pay for my daughter's medical school tuition without her having to take out loans. Money can purchase extra happiness, but I think one has to be a relatively happy person in the first place. Generally speaking, different people hold different opinions about the relationship between money and happiness. In that case, the study suggests that when you have enough money to cover the basic expense, you should feel satisfied and should not worry the money problems. What should you do now? Enjoy your life and give more time for your family, of course also for your body. They are all your happiness resources.
Luxury Market Research---popular Views Of Conspicuous Consumptions Debunked In Survey Of Luxury(Sep 18, 2011)
For several years, luxury retail and marketing consultants have fed the media with anecdotal research about the luxury market as though the purchases of $700 Manolo Blahnik shoes, $1,000 Prada hand bags, and $250 True Religion jeans are common place among luxury consumers. But the affluent women in a survey of the wealthiest 10% of US households by The American Affluence Research Center (AARC) report they are more likely to spend less than $120 for nice shoes, less than $100 for a purse for every day, and less than $75 for a pair of womens jeans. Luxury is a very ambiguous word that is used very loosely, according to Ron Kurtz, President of AARC, who observed that the definition of luxury varies considerably by individual and by product, as clearly demonstrated by our survey. In this survey, the affluent defined luxury by price point and brand for 37 products and services". Affluent Report the Most They Could Imagine Spending for 37 ProductsIn AARCs ground breaking research on the definition of luxury among the wealthy, the survey respondents were asked to specify the most they could imagine spending for 37 different products and services.
