Found this table ranking countries upon their happiness score and thought might be of interest. As you can see it’s not a surprise that there is no correlation between feeling happy and money. Studies shows that people are more into enjoying and taking pleasure from things they do; being involved in family or work; finding a meaning on using personal strengths to serve larger ends. Interesting! Ah, before I forget Albania is ranked the 83rd out of 94 countries.
