金钱比健康更让人满足

俗话说，金钱买不到幸福。但研究发现，经济上的安全感比健康的身体更能让人满足。随着经济上不安全感的消退，我们的幸福感也会逐渐增强。

数据显示，尽管英国人对自己的健康状况越来越沮丧，但是英国人整体的幸福感水平却在提高。

研究还发现，英国人对自己缺乏空闲时间以及社交生活现状日益绝望，但是从家庭生活中获得的快乐却在增加。

Financial security is more important than good health in making people content, a study has found.

Our happiness is growing as financial insecurity begins to abate, an official study of national "well-being" has found.

Money, it seems, might buy happiness, as financial security is more important than good health in making people content, the Office for National Statistics's findings show. National happiness levels are rising although Britons are increasingly despondent about their fitness – 59 percent were satisfied with their health compared with more than 68 percent in 2010.

Seventy-seven percent of people over 16 in the UK rated their life satisfaction at seven or above, up from 75.9 a year earlier.

The study pulled together results from a series of separate measures for the first time, and showed that British people are increasingly frustrated with their lack of free time and despondent about their own social life, but are drawing greater happiness from family life than in recent years.
