About this episode

Money doesn't make you happy. But it does give you control over your life. And it turns out, that makes you happy.


That was the conclusion of Angus Campbell, a psychologist at the University of Michigan who studied happiness and the biggest predictors of it.


For us, it is an important reminder of why we invest: to give ourselves choice in life. We break it all down.


That's only the start of another big episode of Equity Mates:

  • Adam Dawes is back for another Pimp my Portfolio
  • Katy Perry is going to space (trust us, there's an investing angle here)
