Americans confess money makes them happier than friendship

A new Pew Research poll just published showed what Americans find most meaningful. Completed in two separate surveys, Pew uncovered some surprising results showing what people value.

Pew asked their questions in two different ways. In the first survey, they asked people an open-ended question, which was essentially “What do you find most meaningful in your life?” The second way Pew asked was to present options (forced-choice) and to rank several topics in terms of value, like family, work, finances, friends, religion, or hobbies.
