Spend Money, Be Happy!

1
___ This is a question which fascinates many psychologists and research reveals some interesting findings.
Studies show that our levels of happiness increase as we earn more money. However, this only happens until we
earn a certain amount of money and then the boost to our happiness stops. For example, researchers at Princeton
University in the U.S. showed that when people started earning more than $75,000, any further increase in the
amount of money they received no longer had an effect on their feelings of well-being.

Other research suggests that it isn’t the amount of money you have that is important for your happiness. 2 ___
People often think about making money to benefit themselves, but spending money on others can actually make
you happier. This kind of spending is called “prosocial spending.”
3
___ Half of them were told to spend it on another person. The results showed that they reported feeling happier
than the people who spent the money on themselves. These results were the same across the world, and even
with people who didn’t have much money. Psychologists came to the conclusion that the action of giving does
make people happy.
4
___ One study showed that when people donated money to charity, this resulted in the release of endorphins.
These are the hormones in our bodies that make us feel happy. Playing sports helps produce these endorphins,
too.
5
___ First, how we spend our money has to be our choice. Second, giving money to someone must make us feel
connected with that person. Third, we have to be able to see the positive influence that this has on the person
who receives the money.
6
___ Many people are busy and stressed. They work long hours and don’t have enough time to spend with their
families or do things they enjoy. Paying people to do jobs for you, such as cleaning or cooking, is one way of
“buying” time. This extra free time has been shown to promote happiness in people who are stressed.
7
___ This can lead to feelings of sadness. However, the solution isn’t to go out and buy new things so that you
can have what everyone else has. We need to start thinking less about what we want and more about what we
already have and how we can use it to benefit others, and ourselves, in the process.
