Episode 12: Interview with Bluebird of Hedonic Adjustment

Bluebird is a notably erudite and well read blogger. He’s achieved a level of financial success, and he's perhaps a little older than most personal finance bloggers, so he writes from a somewhat different perspective. In fact I’d call him a financial experience blogger rather than a personal finance blogger. In the interview we talk about the correlation between money and happiness – and the happiness of bloggers!
