| 7 Ways To Buy Happiness |
M.P. Dunleavey at MSN has posted this article: 7 Ways To Buy Happiness which lists some things readers have spent money on or that has cost them money to achieve which is making them happy. The person who talked about investing in financial security making her happy was my favorite: By taking profits from the sale of her house in 2005, she was able to make a 45% down payment on a condo last year, which slashed her housing costs.
Even better, by lowering her overhead she has been able to redouble her savings efforts, maxing out her 401(k) and Roth IRA contributions, and socking away $20,000 in an emergency fund.
Some might argue that she would have been better off making a lower down payment and investing the difference, but sometimes the right thing to do is doing what feels right to you. |
