RE: Study: Spending Money On Others Promotes Happiness
From my personal experiences i can agree with this post. However, i also always have this doubt that maybe i should be spending more on myselfand im not benevelent but naive.. I suppose my own financial situation may be a factor, i do beleive if i had all that i needed, it would make me extremely happy to give to those in need. This study has my vote.
well that is why it's interesting.. because those people living in the US and other 1st world countries have a lot of abundance compared to those living in poverty in 3rd world countries.. so you would think that the happiness would increase from giving only for those who have their needs already met/and a bit extra.. but that wasn't the case, they found in over 100 countries that people were happier when they gave to others, despite what they had for themselves. thanks for your feedback and checking out the post :) followed!
