Attip to an adventure park or anew MP3 player? ‘A meal at a restaurant of a new pair of jeans? A smart new computer or a holiday? What would you choose? Well, a study carried out in the USA by the University of Colorado has found that people are happierif they spend money on life experiences, rather than material possessions. Through a series of surveys and experiments over several years, researchers found that people from various social groups were happier when they spent money on doing things, rather than buying things. Ge of the reasans suagested forthis in the study is that experiences are more open to positive Interpretations, For example, imagine yau go on questions, 1 isthe text from A] a science text book?

With material things, you can't reinterpret in this way because they are what they are = thelr qualities dan't change Another possible reason why experiences bring ‘more joy than material goods is that experiences also help us build up better social relationships. We tend to da things with ather people, and we often share stories about the things we've done, So there is a social aspect to experiences that ‘material possessions just don't have.
