-ScienceDaily -ScienceDaily

Web Desk:  Almost everyone heard it million times that, “money can’t buy happiness”. Some may agree with it, while others may not. But new study says that, money can make you happy, but not by buying yourself gifts or luxuries or make others serve you.

After a research, a team discovered that those who made a habit of paying others to do jobs for them generally have high level of satisfaction with their lives.

For experiment, 60 different adults were given $40 to spend on either a material good or some kind of time-saving service, for two weekends in a row. The majority of participants said that paying for a service that saved their time gad a greater positive result and also reduced stress.

But today, we can find that, people become more stressed and unhappy, as they gain more money, the reason is, instead of spending money for service, people spend it on goods.
