Real learns money won't buy happiness

By On March 11, 2010 · 2 Comments

Lyon rolled on tonight to the Champions League quarterfinals, sending the final’s hosts Real Madrid crashing out in ugly fashion with a 1-1 draw (2-1 aggregate) while Manchester United cruised to an easy 4-0 win (7-2 agg) over an outclassed AC Milan side.

Miralem Pjanic scored Lyon’s winner to lead Olympique to another famous victory, while it was all Wayne Rooney at Old Trafford.

The question after tonight in Spain will be not if, but when manager Manuel Pellegrini is shown the exit. Despite a massive payroll and the presence of international stars like Cristiano Ronaldo and Kaka, the result remains the same – Real Madrid has now failed to get past the knockout stage for seven seasons. @FoxSports

    Hi Ben,

    Interesting thoughts!

    I believe it’s not possible to make a general statement on whether money makes people more or less happy. Money comes with a whole set of new elements that may have good or bad impact on our happiness, and depending on how susceptible we are to every one of them, the conclusion will go one way or the other (i.e. different from person to person).

    I recently made an effort to provide a more comprehensive picture of what these ad- and disadvantages are. I invite you to have a look at Money and Happiness

    and tell me what you think!

    Thank you,
    Nick

    Nick,
    Happiness here is referred to the joy of Madrid's fans. When the team loses the fans have such great sympathies for them. But it clearly shows grassroots models work better than spending millions; even though Real is the richest club last season because of their superstars coming to the Becnabeu.
