1. If you want to be happy, spend money on experiences, not things
Money can't buy happiness. 
But, research shows that money can make you happy if we spend it in a particular way. According to a study by psychologists at Cornell University, people get more happiness from experiential purchases (like restaurant meals, hotel stays, and vacations) than things. The excitement of purchasing things evaporate quickly and leaves us wanting more, but the pleasure and memories of experiences can last a lifetime. So, Stop buying stuff and start buying experiences!

on themselves.
