The saying goes that money can’t make you happy… but what if you can use it to boost your happiness? While cash and gold coins may not be the root of eternal contentment, there are ways to use money to enhance your well-being, get more out of life and bring a smile to other people’s faces.
If you’re looking to invest, you’re ready to crack open your rainy day fund, or you’ve had an unexpected windfall, here are some tips to use money to boost your happiness.
Cost is one of the most significant barriers to frequent travel. Most of us would love to take more vacations or see more of the world, but traveling can be expensive. Whether you fancy a weekend in a big city or a tranquil desert island escape, the cost can soon add up. You may also need to factor in issues like taking time off work, which could impact your income. If you’ve got funds available, traveling is a brilliant way to enjoy unique experiences, discover new places, learn more about yourself and recharge your batteries.
There are several ways to use a windfall or investment funds to travel more. Ideas range from luxury options like finding a motor yacht for sale or buying a vacation home to booking trips more frequently or planning a once-in-a-lifetime adventure in a far-flung destination. Weigh up your options and make decisions based on your travel goals, your budget and your investment objectives. If your plan is to use your investment to facilitate as many trips as possible, it’s worth thinking about buying a boat or a second home. If you simply want to travel more without investing any money, it makes sense to focus on planning vacations based on where you want to go and what you want to see and do.
One of the best ways to use money to improve your well-being is to help others. You can do this by spending money on the people you love, treating friends and family members or donating to charity. You might also want to explore opportunities to volunteer or travel abroad helping nonprofits if you can afford to take leave.
Helping others makes a positive difference to communities and individuals, but it’s also proven to provide a feel-good factor. Being kind to other people, helping them out and sacrificing your time and money will make you feel happier. Studies show that being generous can trigger the release of chemicals like dopamine and serotonin, which give you a sense of calmness and lift your spirits. Helping other people can also reduce stress and anxiety.
We often think of investing as spending money to make money through buying and selling shares, trading, snapping up buy-to-let properties or collecting commodities. Another investment option worth considering is investing in yourself. If you have money available, there are many ways to better yourself, protect and nurture your mental and physical health and enhance your life prospects in the future. This may mean paying to do a course, taking an unpaid internship to change careers, setting up a side hustle or going freelance, for example. It may also mean spending more time on your physical and mental health and focusing on wellness rather than work or other commitments.
When you’re thinking about how to spend your money, consider your priorities and what you want to achieve. Tailor your plans to cater to your requirements and preferences.
In an ideal world, we would all have homes that make us feel comfortable, safe and happy, but this is not always the case. If you don’t feel content or secure in your home, you’re living in a house that doesn’t feel like a home, or you have a vision of your dream home, buying a new property may make you happier. It’s hugely beneficial to have a private space that is special to you.
If you like the idea of moving and investing in a new home, it’s helpful to make a wish list. Outline your priorities, set a budget and start researching the market and browsing listings. Try to be open-minded and view a range of properties. You can’t really get a feel for a home without visiting and having a look around. Photo galleries and glossy brochures can be misleading. You may be surprised at the homes you love most. Many people buy properties that give them a certain feeling rather than those that check every box on the list.
You can use money to bring joy and contentment to yourself and others. If you’re looking to invest money, or you have funds to spend, why not explore options, such as traveling more, helping others, investing in yourself and buying a home you love?
