Morning Buzz for Monday 3/24/08 - A new study on happiness
It’s better to give than to receive according to a report in the current issue of The Journal of Science. The study says people who gave gifts to others or charities reported feeling happier than people who didn’t.The Associated Press reports this is in stark contrast to previous studies indicating that having more money can increase happiness. Researchers at the University of British Columbia and Harvard looked into whether they way people spent their money made any difference. They found that it does. The researchers say they were surprised how big the effect was and that how people spent money was more important than how much money they had.

I think when I spend my wife’s money on something..I feel a whole lot better than if I had spent my own money on it..
I also think they have way too many studies going on out there…where do these people actually find the time to have a life…
Someone should do a study on that and get back to us…:)
