People have been asking this question for centuries, but only recently have scientists and psychologists joined the debate. Clearly, our genes play an important role in how happy we feel. And while money and material possessions may briefly boost our spirits, it seems the real key to happiness is life’s experiences. Buying new clothes or the latest electronic device may make us feel great for a short while, but after a while, that feeling starts to fade. We get used to seeing our possessions and our happiness lose its shine. Furthermore, we tend to compare ourselves with others and if we see someone has a better or newer version of what we bought, it can disappoint us. On the other hand, life experiences are more satisfying and bring more lasting happiness. Besides enjoying the actual experience, they also give us memories that we keep for a lifetime. Experiencing life also brings us closer to people. So the next time you’re tempted to spend money on material possessions, try saving cash to experience life instead. When you look back at your life, you will be grateful.
