SURVEYS, STUDIES & SUCH: Brought to you by BetterCreditCards.com

According to a new study, it doesn’t hurt to be a little mean if you’re looking to save more money. Why? Because nice people finish last when it comes to managing their finances, since they don’t value it as much. Researchers from Columbia University found that that those who are more agreeable are the least likely to save money, because they prioritize hanging out with people over material wealth. Meanwhile, highly conscientious people may be more motivated to plan for the future and save funds.

The old saying is that “money can’t buy happiness”, but that’s not necessarily true. According to a recent study, money CAN buy happiness…but it depends on the person. Researchers from the universities of Pennsylvania and Princeton found that on average, larger incomes are associated with increasing levels of happiness. But that happiness peaks at US$100,000 a year and then plateaus, according to the study. The researchers said: “The exception is people who are financially well-off but unhappy. For instance, if you’re rich and miserable, more money won’t help. For everyone else, more money was associated with higher happiness.” Oh, and for the happiest people – their happiness kept right on growing with their income – even above $100,000.

A survey found that 1 in 10 people have had sex at the office.

You know how it goes: You text someone, and it takes forever for them to reply. You wonder if they didn’t receive it, or maybe they’re mad at you…or maybe they’re just being rude. Well, fear not, because a therapist says she know just what you should do when someone doesn’t text you back. For starters, says UK-based Kelly Armatage, we should “never chase” — and instead practice “self-love to heal your inner child.” She says people can enter into a period of psychological turmoil and become obsessive when someone doesn’t text back, particularly a romantic interest which hasn’t been confirmed. Those who are anxiously attached or have abandonment wounds can be particularly susceptible. She says: “When you feel like this, it’s an opportunity to heal your triggers.” According to Armatage, you should soothe yourself straight after rejection by reciting affirmations. These could include: “I am lovable, I am amazing, I am good enough, I don’t want someone who isn’t present”. This helps to regulate the nervous system to bring peace and calmness. She also advises to stay away from coping mechanisms such as alcohol, and to meditate, have a bubble bath or go to a therapy session instead.
