When it’s payday and the payment is received on the account, that you spend more time with their cards than Facebook, Instagram and Tinder combined.
Instant gratification that you receive after purchases of expensive clothes, fashionable shoes and jewelry can be safely assumed dependence.
But much more important to remember the value of adventure in our lives than to splurge on the next expensive thing from our favorite designer; money can buy happiness is true.
In fact, the happiest people in the world have found a way to move away from consumer dependency and unnecessary expenses.
Instead, they invest their money in travel, adventure and memories that will definitely pay off.
If we all begin to invest in your future, not the sneakers, then our life will be more beautiful than what you can buy for the money.
Life is about memories, not diamonds
Just think: in the end, you are going to remember what you had the iPhone 6 Plus, while everyone used the iPhone 5 or are going to remember Golden moments with people who helped you become who you are?
A study published in the Journal of Positive psychology shows that people who spent money to buy expensive goods and not invested in their adventures, often reduced the value of the new product after its purchase, according to the Huffington Post.
Researchers from the University of San Francisco found that people are aware of the life memories that we create, but we are so caught up in trends that make shopping, about which later regret.
Before they made the purchase, the participants said that the adventure will be more profitable than buying the most desired things from your wish list.
After purchase, regardless of what had inclined their hearts, the participants soon realized that it is better to put the money on an adventure that would have increased their level of happiness for a longer time.
Focus on what makes you happy, not what makes the famous
Research conducted at Cornell University show that people tend to do their shopping under the influence of society that makes things like diamond watches and gold chains are not only super expensive but fashionable and attractive.
Also, we like the sparkly products of our society, expensive gifts and toys that we daily exchange.
We are distinguished from our ancestors that we are surrounded by the world of social media, and just buy what offers us is shameful.
Dr. Thomas], a Professor of psychology at Cornell University, looking for the link between money and happiness.
He says:
We buy things to make yourself happier, and we are succeeding. But only for a while. First, new things fascinate us, but then we get used to them.
] Emphasizes.
I’m not saying that you don’t have to spend a couple of hard weeks to buy a new outfit, but a greater contribution, you must do that will make you experience that will create memories for a lifetime and not to the element that will lose their cool after few years (if lucky).
] Said Fest company:
Our adventure – a much larger part of us than our material goods. You can really like your material things. You can put that part of your personality is determined by these things, but, nevertheless, they are not part of you. But your feelings are indeed a part of you. We, the total sum of our experiences.
Tear off the price tag and explore the world
The next Web reports that in the United States are 79 million people today, more than three million are notorious generation, the baby boom is responsible for many jobs, industry and government programs that are at our disposal.
But industry will have to review the generation, if it is going to target us to do their advertising. Most of us begins to realize that his hard-earned money that we spend on travel, education and creativity is priceless.
The researchers say that companies will need to adapt to this shift in thinking to compete and survive in the new world of our generation.
Ultimately, long-term investment in our own happiness.
Waste of money on things that elevate our lives – filling us with Golden memories and unforgettable adventures – we don’t just change the industry that surrounds us, we shed the positive light on the world.

Every day we convince ourselves to buy things we don’t need, spend money we don’t have to buy junk that will be worthless in a few weeks.
The millennial generation is one of the largest and most influential groups in society, and we have a unique opportunity to control the destiny of our wallets and invest in life.
Why buy a new phone when you can put$ 400 on a plane ticket to a country where you’ve never been?
People who have lived with goals for the future, investment and happiness in their thinking, tend to live much happier than consumers, immersed in the goods and stuff.
It’s time to stop counting the money on the map and start thinking about memories that you make due to additional savings and a roadmap.
