  18. Can money buy happiness? Perhaps, if spent in the right way. For example, let’s just say Ms.Brown loves Twix bars and because Ms.Brown and I are friends I went to the vending machine and bought Ms.Brown with my money a Twix bar and now I’m going to give it to her. And that makes her happy so money can buy happiness right? Well, after Ms.Brown eats that Twix it’s gone along with the happiness she felt eating it. So the happiness we receive through money is only temporary. However, the happiness both Ms.Brown and I can get from being friends can last forever. “Studies show that in North America a yearly income beyond $75,000 does not impact happiness”.- Asap Science Studies also show that people tend to be happier when spending their money on experiences and daily pleasures such as lunch with your friends or night skiing with your family versus material things like a $20,000 rug or an expensive vase. “Often Lottery ticket winners report becoming significantly unhappy, spending all their money and becoming in debt”.-Wikipedia Although, perhaps our happiness depends more on how we spend our money relevant to just how much we have. Also, giving money and gifts to others can be more satisfying then just selfish spending. A few years ago my dad agreed to pay me for yard work and chores around the house I had saved up a decent amount of money. I spent some money on stuff for me and some with friends and I found the more I spent money on going to the movies with friends or somewhere fun the happier I was rather than spending money on myself. So in conclusion money can buy happiness, if spent in the right way.
