Depending on whatassumptions are used, clinical depression is 3 to 10 times as common today than two generations ago. A recent studyby Ronald Kessler of Harvard Medical School estimated that each year, 1 in 15 Americans experience an episode ofmajor depression--meaning not just a bad day but depression so debilitating that it’s hard to get out of bed. Moneyjangles in our wallets and purses as never before, but we are basically no happier for it, and for many, more moneyleads to depression. How can that be?Of course, our grandmothers, many of whom lived through the Depression and the war, told us that money can’tbuy happiness. We don’t act as though we listened. Millions of us spend more time and energy pursuing the thingsmoney can buy than engaging in activities that create real fulfillment in life, like cultivating friendships, helping othersand developing a spiritual sense.We say we know that money can’t buy happiness. In the TIME poll, when people were asked about their majorsource of happiness, money ranked 14th. Still, we behave as though happiness is one wave of a credit card away. Toomany Americans view expensive purchases as "shortcuts to well-being," says Martin Seligman, a psychologist at theUniversity of Pennsylvania. But people are poor predictors of where those shortcuts will take them.To be sure, there is ample evidence that being poor causes unhappiness. For example, studies by Ruut Veenhoven,a sociologist at Erasmus University in Rotterdam, show that the poor--those in Europe earning less than about $10,000a year--are rendered unhappy by the relentless frustration and stress of poverty.
