Money CAN Buy You Happiness

Money can lead to happiness.

With money, you have more options. You have more choice in what you can do with your time and energy.  When you are out for dinner, you can decide to go to the super-expensive restaurant and pick the most expensive meal without feeling guilty. When you are buying a new car, you are able to get the one that you have always dreamed of – brand new, in black and with all the bells and whistles you have ever dreamed of. When you need a break, why not go on that holiday to Fiji, Trinidad and Tobago, France, or tour the USA as you have always been dreaming? You can as well host your next party on space, You have the money.

Spending money on more expensive items now is simply a form of short-term, instant gratification. Longer-term, delayed gratification can result in greater happiness.

MONEY AND HAPPINESS. Money Can’t Buy Happiness… But Happiness Can Get You Money!

Why is it that we all desire to have more money?
Money can provide opportunities for us like never before. However, when we do end up with a higher income, why is it then that happiness is not necessarily a result?
The fact that we know that money can’t buy happiness doesn’t seem to help. Most people continue to have the desire to create a higher income.

I wanted to flip the notion that money doesn’t buy happiness on its head, and show you how happiness can lead to more cash in your hand.
And it’s really quite simple… let’s take a look at this concept in my subsequent posts on MONEY AND HAPPINESS.
