Money CAN Buy Happiness (If You Use It In These Ways)
Manage episode 445790181 series 2488621
Money can't buy happiness. It sounds good as a bumper sticker platitude.
But the truth is, money can buy happiness. At least sometimes. In certain circumstances. If we view it and use it in the right ways.
Here to unpack the conditions under which money can buy happiness and facilitate our flourishing is Dr. Daniel Crosby, a psychologist and behavioral finance expert and the author of The Soul of Wealth: 50 Reflections on Money and Meaning. Today on the show, Daniel shares the minimum income level at which money buys happiness, at least in the sense of avoiding pain. We talk about how to purchase material things in a way that increases happiness, while avoiding materialism, and the value of using your money to buy health and freedom. And we discuss the importance of finding an overarching why that guides the way you allocate your money and doing a values audit to see if your purpose and spending habits are aligned.
