The new science of spending comes to a surprising conclusion .How we use our money may    as much or more than how much we’ve got it.
Money spent on experiences , rather than material goods,    more happiness.
Imagine that you wake up tomorrow morning to    $1 million under your bed .What would you do    that cash?
The money will probably make you think about one thing     all else---- yourself. A large amount of research reveals that money     our selfish sides. We will      much on what that money can do for us alone. Perhaps you are imagining buying a faster car, or even a new house.
But studies show that  goods often fail to deliver       happiness. Fortunately ,our ongoing research      many ways to get more happiness from every dollar you spend .Changing how you spend money can increase your happiness.
But making these       needs to challenge some of our ideas of spending. It’s hard not to      buying a house as a wise investment. But research shows it brings very little happiness. A study in the United States found that homeowners , on average ,were no happier than   .
So, working hard to save money for a house might not be such a good idea       it means spending less time with your families and friends.
And dozens of studies show that people get more happiness from buying       than material things. Experimental purchases—such as trips ,concerts and special meals –are more    connected to our sense of self.
And experiences come with one more    . They tend to bring us      to other people , but more often, material things are enjoyed      .So social contacts are important to       mental and physical health.
