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（投资）, But new 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, Experiential 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.
