Does happiness have a pricetag?

Yes and no and maybe, depending on what type of happiness one is looking for, how happy one wants to be and where that happiness is located.

There are many things I would like to do that I would be happy doing, but they pay very poorly. There are many things I am good at that pay very well but make me miserable. There are a few that would give me some happiness and a decent wage. I can find lots from Group A, some from Group B, but Group C eludes me... this has been the story of my life for five years now.

The one thing I am certain of is that as soon as I choose something from Group A or B, something from Group C will pop up. Because I will have just made a commitment to something else, I will feel obligated to not go for it.

And thus, happiness is reduced to a mock experiment conducted in the laboratory of my life.
