Can money buy you happiness? Studies have consistently shown how miserable the wealthy are, but I really enjoyed this breakdown of nine areas to add a lot of joy to your life. I’ve spent a lot of $ in the last 12 months buying discipline, and it’s been a game changer.
I started working with @melinderoliver over a year ago to help me actually execute on all the brilliant ideas in my head and converting them to well written content. I found that engaging with an editor was less about the quality of my content and more about the accountability of actually delivering it.
I totally agree @rhansen, money definitely buys happiness for me but that’s not necessarily in the way of materialistic items. I find joy in enjoying beautiful food and drinks on the weekends, whether it be Saturday night dinner or a long Sunday lunch. These are things that I’m excited for all week. During times when I have tried to cut back on these things to budget, I find it really deflating.
Absolutely love this! Such a GREAT question as well. There is a common saying about how money can’t buy happiness and I used to agree with it but not anymore — after I did a reset mindset recently which I’d love to share. Instead of thinking how money can’t buy happiness, reframe it to with money, it gives me the freedom to do things that improve the quality of my life. Another one that I found to be an eye-opener is instead of thinking how money is the root of all evil, reframe it to with money, it is a resource to do good in my life and for others. I don’t know if anyone here is into manifestation/law of attraction but one thing I learned was all these “negative” sayings/studies about money is actually our self-limiting beliefs and once we are able to reframe our thoughts towards money = game changer!
Also, thank you for sharing the article, lovely! x
I really love this Sera – completely agree! I think that abundant mindset changes the whole conversation. I think about what I’d do if I had “more” and then I can break it right down to things I can do right now with what I’ve got.
Very interesting reflection! I see the cleaner option all the time as a financial coach, and it’s amazing how spending $50 a week / fortnight on this reduces the arguing between couples. It’s like uber-cheap therapy 🙂
