Money doesn't make you happy. But it does give you control over your life. And it turns out, that makes you happy.

That's only the start of another big episode of Equity Mates:

Adam Dawes is back for another Pimp my Portfolio
Katy Perry is going to space (trust us, there's an investing angle here)
