Do you feel happier when you spend more money?

[Henrywrites]

This might look somehow, but it looks like there are those who are always very happy when it comes to spending a lot of money. They only get depressed when the money is unavailable. Are you such type of person, or are you in a situation where money related issues can never make you feel depressed?

Buying something I genuinely need or an experience I enjoy can make me happy for a while, but the feeling doesn't usually last. I get more satisfaction from spending wisely than simply spending more.

I'm one of those advocate that money brings happiness 100%. I can't think of enjoying my life to the fullest without having so much money to do so. Without being able to spend money because I don't have it is always going to leave feeling like I'm in hole.

I think money affects almost everyone's mood to some extent because it influences security and freedom. I enjoy spending on things that genuinely matter, but I don't think spending itself brings lasting happiness. Financial stress can definitely be emotionally draining, but I try not to let my mood depend entirely on my bank balance.
