Money, as you know, cannot buy happiness, but the way we spend it is quite capable of affecting our well-being.
Money, as you know, cannot buy happiness, but the way we spend it is quite capable of affecting our well-being. In the experiment of Professor Elizabeth Dunn (Elizabeth Dunn) from the University of British Columbia (Canada), students received bills of 5 or 20 dollars with the obligatory condition to spend them on the same day either on themselves or on other people. It turned out that those who donated money, even as little as $5, to charity, felt much happier by the end of the day than those students who pampered themselves with that amount. This effect was confirmed in a survey of 632 American adults: those who regularly help their acquaintances and friends with money are much happier than the rest.
