Money CAN Buy Happiness
Money can buy happiness, but only if you spend it on someone else.
In one experiment, volunteers rated their happiness and were then given $5 or $20. Half were told to spend on themselves, half to give it away. Those who gave away the money were the happiness, even if it was only $5.
The finding supports another famous study on happiness.
