Turns out, it's not a question of whether money can buy happiness (at least not directly); it's a question of what you should buy to maximize the amount of happiness purchased. You'll buy more happiness, or maybe longer-lasting happiness, with a ski trip or concert tickets than a new big-screen TV.
One response to “Buying Happiness (Joe)”
Obviously, the folks who conducted this study haven’t observed me fawning longingly to this day over my 12-year-old CD player, my 8-year-old speakers, my 26-year-old turntable(!), or my decades old LPs. But that happy trip to Vienna in ’84? Eh, it was fun, but what have I got to show for it?
