haha graphs not a turn on eh?
I think you instinctively reached the same conclusion as A LOT of research on the issue:
1 - pass a certain point money has diminishing returns in happiness
2 - spending it on others makes us a lot happier than spending it on ourselves
3 - the anticipation of a reward (eg, money) gives us far more pleasure than receiving the reward itself
I didn't get to the 3, or any of the criticisms of these views. It's sort of difficult writing a joke or punchline every sentence or two and still trying to stay informative. Every comedy piece I write I get a little worn out and just end up posting it prematurely lol

That's strange, I don't think this showed up in my responses. Yes, I agree with three, lol. And I can see how it would be tough to balance comedy writing with informational pieces. I think it's tough to write comedy pieces period. I can be funny...usually in comments, but that's brief. Having to be "on" for an article would be a whole different thing. Which is why I'm always impressed with those who do it such as you ;)
Edit: Nevermind, it's there, I just missed it somehow ;)
haha I like your writing
probably wait until it's near done and binge read it =)
I'll keep voting on each chapter as they're out though
