Money CAN buy happiness - if you spend it right

'Money can't buy you happiness'? This cliché might prove flawed.

Whilst the bulk of it still holds true to its foundation, there might be another way to look at it that begs: 'Hey! I guess it could bring happiness!'

The variable here, however, isn't the level of spending, but the quality of it.

What are you spending your money on? Does it hold value to you?

Are you spending money on things that matter to you?

Will spending money on x better the experience you have using it?

Will it make your mood significantly better by paying for it?

Really think about what holds value to your heart - be it to spend on family, friends, or hobbies and experiences.

By spending your money in the right places, for the right purposes, I think you'll find that the return on investment for the sum you parted with is worth it.

So yes, money can bring you happiness - if you spend it right, that is.
