Question on Happiness

From the Daily Traveler website... http://www.cntraveler.com

San Francisco State University says that people who spend money on experiences instead of new things are happier overall. The researchers issued a questionnaire to 10,000 people, and those who spent their money doing something new— flying to Italy, eating dinner at a new restaurant, buying tickets to a play that just opened—were generally more content with life than those who blew their cash on shoes or fancy gadgets. Those so-called “experiential spenders” were also more likely to play well with others, take risks, and feel less anxious. A 2010 study at the University of Colorado had similar findings, and went so far as to say experiential spenders were seen as more charismatic and as people you'd like to spend more time with; the shopaholics came off as shallow. Now we just feel like we're bragging, so tell us: Are you happier when you spend money doing or buying something fabulous?

In India we can do both!
