Is Happiness Directly Proportonal to Spending Money?
Your Wallet Might Disagree
Happiness—the ultimate goal we are all chasing. Some people say, the more you can afford to spend, the happier you will be. If that was true, billionaires would have been always jumping and giggling our of joy, like kids in a candy store.

You think, “this new gadget will make me so happy!” , while clicking *add to cart* with glee.
