However, when it comes to <strong><em>spending<\/em><\/strong>, those good feelings aren&#8217;t always a sure thing. So, can money buy happiness?<\/p>\n<p>Having a higher income can give us more leisure time, access to homes in safer neighborhoods, better health care and nutrition, and fulfilling work. Money can also provide the peace of mind that allows people to avoid many of the day-to-day hassles that cause stress.<\/p>\n<p>However, the positive effects of money &#8211; such as buying a new car or home &#8211; are often offset by the negative effects. For example: working longer hours, or remaining in a high-pressure or stressful job in order to maintain that higher income. Maybe that&#8217;s why a recent study found that about 20% of participants saw increasing happiness with rising income. But only up to a certain threshold. After that, no amount of additional money increased happiness. This group tends to experience negative feelings &#8211; such as heartbreak and bereavement &#8211; that earning more money simply can&#8217;t alleviate.<\/p>\n<p>The <em>Wall Street Journal<\/em> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/can-money-buy-happiness-heres-what-science-has-to-say-1415569538\">reports<\/a>\u00a0that buying more things doesn&#8217;t always make us happy because we adapt to it:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8216;Human beings are remarkably good at getting used to changes in their lives, especially positive changes,&#8217; says Sonja Lyubomirsky, psychology professor at the University of California, Riverside. &#8216;If you have a rise in income, it gives you a boost, but then your aspirations rise too. Maybe you buy a bigger home in a new neighborhood, and so your neighbors are richer, and you start wanting even more. You&#8217;ve stepped on the hedonic treadmill. Trying to prevent that or slow it down is really a challenge.&#8217;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The good news is there are more than a few ways financially responsible people can maximize their shopping experiences. Happify, a website and app dedicated to helping people build skills for happiness through science-based activities and games, broke down the <a href=\"http:\/\/my.happify.com\/hd\/money-and-your-happiness\/?srid=cmark&amp;c1=penzo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">science-based strategies<\/a> for getting the most joy out of what you spend.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s easy for financially responsible folks to condition themselves into feeling guilty whenever they spend their money. And that&#8217;s a shame. After all, the money we earn is ultimately meant to be spent. As with everything in life, it&#8217;s all about moderation.<\/p>\n<p>All things being equal, <em><strong>can<\/strong><\/em> money buy happiness? Maybe so.<\/p>\n<p>The trick, of course, is in finding a balance that avoids neglecting the material things and <a href=\"https:\/\/lenpenzo.com\/blog\/id12985-i-just-made-the-biggest-impulse-purchase-of-my-life-but-its-ok.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">experiences we enjoy<\/a> simply for the sake of saving.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/lenpenzo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Happiness_and_money_Happify.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-30892\" src=\"https:\/\/lenpenzo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Happiness_and_money_Happify.png\" alt=\"Happiness_and_money_Happify\" width=\"510\" height=\"4590\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><span style=\"font-size: smaller;\">Photo Credit: Daveness_98; Infographic: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.happify.com\/?srid=cmark&amp;c1=penzo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Happify<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Most financially responsible people experience a bit of euphoria &#8212; along with a genuinely-satisfying sense of accomplishment &#8212; whenever they save money.
