People who prefer to spend time on their hobbies and earn less are happier than people who like to work longer hours for big pay packets, a study has found.
Spending time in more ‘meaningful ways’ on pastimes, with family or exercising leads to greater feelings of well-being, researchers found.
They suggest that if people want to focus more on their time and less on money they should work fewer hours, pay someone to do chores like cleaning the house, or volunteer with a charity.
