{Science believes you can buy happiness.}<\/p>\n

A University of British Columbia study suggests purchasing material goods would make us more happy over a period of time compared to the happiness we get from an experience.<\/p>\n

Daily Mail reports the researchers as saying experiences provide intense feelings that will eventually fade but material things remind a person about the happiness they felt when they first received it.<\/p>\n

Aaron Weidman, one of the researchers explained: \u201cThe decision of whether to buy a material thing or a life experience may therefore boil down to what kind of happiness one desire.<\/p>\n

\u201cConsider a holiday shopper deciding between tickets to a concert or a new couch in the living room.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe concert will provide an intense thrill for one spectacular night but then it will end, and will no longer provide momentary happiness, aside from being a happy memory.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn contrast, the new couch will never provide a thrilling moment to match the concert, but will keep the owner snug and comfortable each day throughout the winter months.\u201d<\/p>\n
