Allison Schrager: Where is your happy place? Maybe it’s Slovenia (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What if the secret to happiness was … low expectations? Most residents of rich, Western countries have relatively high earnings, but many also feel they can’t afford a reasonable lifestyle. Americans, for example, are getting richer but also more unhappy. Meanwhile Eastern Europeans, not generally known for their cheery disposition, are most satisfied with their comparatively lower income. In 2018, research psychologists at Purdue and the University of Virginia compiled data from previous survey
Allison Schrager: Americans are richer than ever. Why are they so angry? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It is one of the great paradoxes of our time: Americans have never been richer — or more negative about the economy. More people are upper-middle class than ever, and even lower-income Americans are richer by almost every measure compared with previous generations.

The median house price in Nantucket, Massachusetts, is nearly $4 million. It was just $500,000 in 1995. This sounds like a stunning increase in one of the hottest and least accessible real estate markets in the country. What’s even more stunning is the stock market: If you invested $500,000 in the S&P 500 Index in 1995, you’d have more than $8.2 million today, even more if you reinvested the dividends you earned. Stocks have clearly been the superior investment, even as housing has moved out of

This sounds like a stunning increase in one of the hottest and least accessible real estate markets in the country.
