Number one are the people of Denmark than Puerto Rico, who'd have guessed!

60 minutes had a great program about Demark a couple of weeks ago, and why they were so happy! A few points I remember them saying about what makes these people from these happy countries so happy is!

1. Denmark although they pay a high tax, everything is taken care of, including health care, education, unemployment, retirement, I mean all those things that the average american worries about, or at least I do!
and like today if they do have those things being soo worried about trying to keep them in economies like our own is right now...

2. Another point made was that these people from these countries don't have to have such high aspirations as we do here in the states! So they are not let down but the constant failure americans have at not having that nice porsche in the drive way, the 3500 sq.ft + home the lush travel adventures! The gold rolex and such!

When they meet their more modest goals , (which by the way are usually in their means of obtaning) they are happy , seeing that they don't have that sometimes impossible american dream, they reach their goals easier and are much happier with less !!!!

I don't know for sure, but the more and more I see americans leaving for SOTB, I really believe it is not for the money but more for the hopes of leaving behind that impossible or almost impossible american dream!

And searching for what truly will make them happier people!

Hmmm, about 3 years ago I posted that Colombia was rated #1. Seems it fell a few notches since Tinto moved there Maybe Micky can up it a slot or 2

I saw the article and it had a pic from each country. Funny how it showed a street in Colombia with people riding motos with no helmets (cascos). Since Colombia has a helmet law, I guess nobody would figure out the pic wasn't of Colombia. You know how they all look alike and all...
