Remember how Snoop Dogg sang in his song Gin and Juice When your mind’s on your money, it’s pretty tough to feel laid back. The recent study carried by the University of Toronto supports his words.

According to the study author Sanford DeVoe (Ph.D., an assistant professor of organizational behavior at Toronto), people that were asked to think about their hourly income every hour were observed to feel 10 percent less happy than those who were not. Researchers link that to the fact that thinking about the hourly income in fact makes your mind think with weighting your time from dollars-and-cents point of view as study says.

Of course no one will refuse getting paid, but it is not always as beneficial as you think. The study by George Mason University discovered that replacing the leisure time by work and thus earning money increases the feelings of depression and social anxiety and provoke the belief that life is meaningless.

i think results of this study reflect the truth as work can't make you fully happy. A person needs a lot more than that. Besides, i've read about things people regret doing or not doing the most, and majority of men and women who had successful careers and worked hard dedicating most of their time to work regretted that they didn't spend more time on other things, like socializing, hobbies, families, etc.

I wonder who's wasting time inventing the wheel? It's obvious! Of course if you work and work and work and work you have no option but to feel very unhappy
