Study Finds Most Would Choose Cash Over Happiness Majority of readers instantly say “Yeah, but not me!” In the study, 2,699 participants were asked to consider a variety of scenarios: One scenario involved choosing between a job that paid $80,000 a year with reasonable work hours that would permit 7.5 hours a night of sleep, or a higher-paying $140,000-a-year job with long work hours and time for only six hours of sleep. Participants were also asked questions about which option they thought would make them happier. Despite the probability that the less-demanding, lower-paying job would allow them more sleep,  free time and make them happier overall, participants tended to choose the higher-paying job.
