Money can make you happy only if you spend it in a clever way .
To start with ,1.(buy) a new car makes you happy.However,you’ll “lose”
this happy feeling when the car2.(get)old.But if you are made to spend a week traveling,it’s more possible that you’ll have the great experiences and the good feeling for a long time .A new study has3.(find)that spending money on experiences rather than material things makes people happier.
For material things ,it’s possible that you don’t leave 4.any little thing .If you buy a nice pen ,and someone else buys one with less money ,it’s possible that you may be unhappy that you spend so much money .It lets you down a lot.Oppositely, when it comes to experiences like5.(go)on a trip ,you won’t think like that .If the trip can be nice ,you’ll happily pay for it even though 6.(it) price may be very high. And the more ofen you go on trips,the7.(happy)you’ll be.
