The English pop group the Beatles(甲壳虫乐队) told us that money can't buy us love. Many people believe that money cannot buy happiness and it makes people bad. However, a new study from Cambridge University says that money can buy happiness. Researchers did a study that compared the spending habits of customers of a bank with their personality. They compared the personalities of 625 people with a list of what the people spent their money on. The study showed that buying the right things can lead to happiness.
The researchers said the study may change the way people think about money and happiness. They said, "Spending can increase our happiness when it is spent on goods and services that fit our personalities". Internet companies could use information about people's happiness to advise nice things that increase happiness. Spending money could be more important in our lives than we thought. The researchers said, "Spending money on nice things that help us express who we are could be as important to our happiness as finding the right job or even the right friends."
