I was talking with Ed about a few stresses in my life right now, and the conversation jogged a memory of an article I really like. Journalist Jonathan Clements wrote a weekly piece for the Wall Street Journal for several years as a personal finance columnist. There was a particular piece that I really enjoyed, and it is a list of 9 items for investing in happiness. They are...
1. Make time for friends.
2. Forget the pay raise.
3. Don’t trade up.
4. Keep your commute short.
5. Count your blessings.
6. Enjoy a good meal.
7. Challenge yourself.
8. Volunteer.
9. Give it time.
I keep this list on my bulletin board near my computer as a reminder of what really makes me happy. Some of them are self explanatory, but you can find the full article here.
Thoughts, opinions?
