The March 2008 issue of Science reported on a study conducted to determine if how people spend their money is as important for their happiness as how much they earn.
 
Does money buy happiness?
 
Scientists hypothesized that investing in others, rather than oneself, would have measurable benefits on personal happiness.

To test their theory, the researchers surveyed a nationally representative sampling of Americans to rate their happiness and report their income and spending in various categories. They also polled recipients of a company bonus to determine if personal versus charitable spending was more satisfying.

The results?
 
Science reports: “This study provides initial evidence that how people spend their money may be as important for their happiness as how much money they earn—and that spending money on others might represent a more effective route to happiness than spending money on oneself.”
