As early as 2004, yes, over seven years ago, two scientists using the magic of emprical evidence figured out how anyone can get rich, or at least feel rich. Want to know how you can add the experience of earning tens of thousands of dollars/euros extra per year to your life? The answer is simple:
Have more sex.
Professors David Blanchflower and Andrew Oswald found that increasing sex from once a month to once a week is equivalent to the amount of happiness that $50.000 extra above the average salary adds to your life. Go from single to married, and you can add an extra $100,000 to your income.
That should make one wonder: why do most countries provide a minimum income and not a minimum amount of sex to its citizens?
