Another Captain Obvious Study - Money CAN buy happiness

"Despite decades of people telling us that money can't buy happiness ("it's all about the experiences!&quot , researchers have found new evidence that spending actually can make our lives a whole lot better - as long as you buy the right things.

So what should you purchase in order to bring yourself some much-needed joy? The scientists looked at nearly 77,000 bank transactions in the UK, and found that people who spend money on purchases that suited their personality traits were more satisfied with life.


In other words, if that 100 in. HiDef TV is going to make you happy, buy it - if a shiny, new chromy thing for your car makes you happy, get it - if it's a type of shoe, tie, or pair of jeans and makes you feel happy, go for it. In short, if it makes you happy, regardless of the item, buy it or save for it.

Study emphasizes that a person really needs to understand themselves (being an introvert/extrovert/self-centered/open minded/etc.) to feel true happiness in spending money.
