Spending Money Makes You Happy!!
I couldn't help posting on this article. Apparently, spending money makes you happy when you spend it on someone else.
Regardless of how much income each person made, those who spent money on others reported greater happiness, while those who spent more on themselves did not.
I think that is one reason that some people get joy from planning. They get the sensation of giving to their children and grandchildren. That is why I believe it is a great opportunity to share a written letter of your feelings with the ones you love as part of your estate plan. Writing it now helps you experience the joy and reading it later helps your family experience more joy in receiving.
