✅ Enjoy more experiences

Research has shown that time and time again, money doesn’t really buy you happiness (even though most of us think it does). 

What you should put your money toward — rather than buying more stuff — are experiences or charity. 

Research has shown that we tend to have fonder, happier memories of times we spent with someone doing something fun (like going on a trip), than if we had bought ourselves a new flat-screen TV. 

And when we give money to charity, it also makes us feel better about ourselves and our lives.
