Answer 1

Answer:

You can buy happiness if it's an experience

Answer 2

There are certain factors outside of money which can influence happiness

Explanation:

• People also have different ideas about money being able to buy happiness or not. Others think that money's lifestyle is equal to happiness, while others believe that money can lead to greed that cannot be satisfied.
• The author, Caitlin Kenney of "Study: ‘High Incomes Don’t Bring you Happiness'  draws a distinction between emotional well-being and the quality of a individual’s everyday experience such as fascination, joy, sadness, anxiety,  affection, anger, life evaluation, and an individual’s thoughts about his/her life.  Money is essential for life evaluation; however, does nothing for enjoyment, happiness, stress, or sadness. Both factors are essential. While it is nice to be emotionally well, it is good to think that your life goes well.
• In “You can Buy Happiness if it’s an Experience" by Manvi Singh, the author discusses the findings of a research published in Psychological Science focusing on how different buys influence happiness. People got excited about both things and events. However, they tended to feel more optimistic about experiential shopping, and they tended to feel tinged with feelings of impatience about material shopping. And as people age, in daily activities such as gardening and walking they find more happiness than when they travel abroad. One explanation is that interactions give people the opportunity to communicate and socialize.
