Money CAN buy happiness

You’ve all heard the ole cliché:  “Money can’t buy you happiness.”  Well . . . a new study says that’s just not true!  I personally (Monica), don’t think it can buy happiness but it sure does make life easier when it comes to bills!

Researchers at Harvard Business School did a study of almost 4,500 people that found money can, in fact, buy you happiness.  And it can do it even if you aren’t rich.

The study found that paying someone to do, quote, “unenjoyable daily tasks” to give you more free time will make you SIGNIFICANTLY more satisfied with your life.

And it worked even when people spent pretty reasonable amounts on help, like less than $80 a month, to take care of things like cooking, shopping, and their chores.
