Money brings happiness, according to new research.

The researchers found that 50 percent of those bringing home more than 80,000 dollars are satisfied with life, compared to just 43 percent of those with an income of less than $24,000. About 47 percent of people in the high-income group feel they have achieved their goals, compared to 31 percent of the poorest group, according to data company Mintel.

“It appears that money can buy you happiness, and affluence pays a pivotal role in financial outlook,” Mintel’s senior consumer analyst Alexandra Richmond said. ”The higher income earners are less financially stretched and although they may notice prices rising, it is unlikely to cause them too much concern. A lack of money holds people back from realizing their dreams.”

Sounds pretty obvious to me….when somebody gets paid, they’re happy. Duh.

Stefani Germanotta (Lady Gaga) claims she went bankrupt during her “Monster Ball” tour.

The pop-singer had spent more money than earned. She told the Financial Times newspaper, “I put everything in the show, and I actually went bankrupt after the first extension of the ‘Monster Ball’. And it was funny because I didn’t know! And I remember I called everybody and said, ‘Why is everyone saying I have no money? This is ridiculous, I have five number one singles’ - and they said, ‘well, you’re $3 million in debt.’ “

However, the famous performer hasn’t taken the news seriously and reportedly recently sent minders to buy £10,000 worth of memorabilia from London of the British royal family to decorate her home with and remind her of her fans in England.

Seriously?! Can you get any dumber than that?! People are so ridiculously stupid about money. Enjoy living on the street.
