Giving money away makes me happy and study done shows I ain't alone

People happier spending cash on others, study finds

Money can buy you happiness – as long as you're spending it on someone else.

In the third experiment, researchers gave subjects a $5 and $20 bill, with instructions to spend the money either on themselves or others.

Again, researchers found people assigned to spend the money on others reported greater happiness.

I wonder if losing money on others triggers the same happiness.

you make a good point, there is actually a difference,

buying someone something nice is a gift

but losing money on someone means you invested in that person for your gain

Big Difference

how old are you 12 ??

talk within reason or go home, well you are already at home typing, but you can go to bathroom and lock yourself up

the good thing about bathroom is that there is water there,

hell you could stay there for 7 days if you had to

you know how I got started in this biz
by eating pigeon poo, THAT'S HOW

The happiness comes from the recipent aware you are giving them money.

If you give money and nobody but you knows it I would guess the study would shows less happiness
