The New Year saying “Earn a lot and be rich” tops the list of annual greetings that people find the most depressing, a survey shows.
Online employment agency “Alba Heaven” surveyed 2,200 people on Monday.
In second place were “Make it happen and let us eat together voraciously” and “Be more handsome and prettier this year.”
The third most depressing remark was “Let’s meet at the year’s end with your significant other.”
Other depressing remarks included “You will get a good job” and “Why don’t you get married this year?”
