In general, people who have a goal in life report feeling happier and more satisfied than those without a goal, UNLESS the goal is

A) advancing a political or religious cause.
B) helping one's family or community.
C) solving a scientific problem.
D) getting rich.

Research suggests that pursuing wealth for its own sake is not a reliable path to happiness and life satisfaction. People who prioritize materialistic goals often experience more anxiety, lower self-esteem, and less connection to others. It's important to note that having financial security and stability can contribute to well-being and freedom to pursue other goals, but the drive to accumulate wealth at any cost may lead to negative outcomes.
