HAPPINESS TIPS -- plucked fresh from my BE HAPPY DAMMIT sirius radio show!

They say money can't buy happiness.

They is right -- but only half right.

You can maybe snag some happiness if you buy "experiences" rather than things.

It's like this...

German scholar Stefan Klein -- author of “The Science of Happiness” -- says his research shows...

“Things per se cannot bring you happiness at all. It is only the 'experience' of possessing something which can trigger the emotion of happiness."

Meaning?

When a new possession does trigger happiness, it is actually only triggering the "new experience" of having a new thing, like a new, bigger car, for example. It's the experiecing of the newness of the car you're feeling -- not the object itself. Once the new car is NOT new to you anymore, the experience of owning this object fades, and so too will your happiness.

The solution?

Invest more of your moola and time in experiences like vacations -- dinners with loved ones -- films - museum visits -- strolls along the beach -- sport activities -- any/all events and happenings which will bring you longterm happy memories!

Harvard University social psychologist Daniel Gilbert --NYTimes best selling author of “Stumbling on Happiness” -- agrees.

Gilbert pithily explains the happiness perks of happy experiences like this...

"Goods tarnish over time. Experiences, on the other hand, can get better as you remember them -- especially if you're one of the many people who tend to embellish when remembering your past -- which many people are!"

My guests who offered positive happy experiences:

Francine Segan, award winning cookbook author of many cookbooks including THE OPERA LOVER'S COOKBOOK -- and recent nominee for James Beard award

Ceslie Armstrong, founder of the fabulous entertaining and informative CESLIE TV

Adam Walden, President of GEN ART -- a terrific organization which brings you the hottest in fashion, film, art, photography -- you name it

Lisa Goldberg of Sapa,a sexy/sleek/indulgent restaurant --- with a conscience -- holding an upcoming celebrity-waitered fundrasier dinner for Lou Gehrig disease

HOW DO MEN AND WOMEN CLASH ABOUT CASH?

This morning on BE HAPPY DAMMIT, my SIRIUS daily 8am -9am show on Lime, Channel 114, I had some fabulous guests...including David Neubert who is my weekly regular finance maven and creator of the panelist.com.

David is a retired Wallstreet dude and a philanthropist and philosopher of sorts.

The topic du jour: Working wives now contribute more than a 1/3rd of the typical family's income! And in 1/3rd of married households, women make more moola than their man.

The question du jour: Do men like chicks with checks..big checks?

Neubert says: Yes! He and his men pals like women with big curvy income figures.

The surprise: Numerous surveys show women still don't feel as cocky about their financial abilities as men do. For example, a Merrill Lynch survey found a whopping 47% of women (vs. 30% of men) feel they are NOT that knowledgeable about investing.

Women also confess they are far less comfy taking financial risks than men: Only 31% of the wives surveyed label themselves the couple's bigger risk-taker investor with money vs. 66% of men.

Neubert's comment: Women in general are more likely to confess vulnerability - so the survey might be tainted by this female trait.

Also fascinating... when asked about their family's income, the typical husband says his household earns 5% more than it does -- and the man says he's 10% wealthier than the wife says he is.

Meanwhile the wife reports that the family owes more moola than her husband admits to -- again showing, as Neubert pointed out -- women are more likely to confess to vulnerability as a rule.

A surprising consistent gender gap: Husbands and wives still divvy up money tasks very traditionally. According to recent studies, men still do most of the long-term planning -- while women manage day-to-day household finances.

The problem: Women live longer than men -- and so women need to better keep an eye on longterm savings -- for retirement -- especially since there's still a high percentage of women who don't think about retirement funds at all -- believing their husbands will do it for them.

The lesson learned: Women need to take more financial responsibility for longterm investing -- so they have enough saved income for retirement.
