Love Is Worth £163,424
Steve Henry and David Alberts have written a book, You Are Really Rich, You Just Don't Know It Yet, that tries to figure out the real world value of life's priceless moments. According to the authors, being told, "I love you" is worth £163,424, being in a stable relationship £154,849, and hanging out with your friends comes in at a measly £63,256. The values were determined by asking 1,000 people what made them happy and then comparing that event to the happiness they would feel after winning the lottery. "It was interesting when doing the research that very few people mentioned money and people focused on family occasion, hanging out with friends, having a quiet time on their own, seeing grandchildren and visiting places they had never seen before as things that made a real difference in their lives," said Alberts.
Everyone I've ever told "I love you" has gotten this look that could be more appropriately described as "panic" than "happiness".
I thought that they had found out that people will leave their true love if they are paid that amount. _That_ would have been interesting.
Rome taught me patience and assiduous application to detail. Virtues which temper the boldness of great, general views.
