Science says money can in fact buy happiness, but there's a catch.

Experiences, relationships, personal fulfillment, and a sense of purpose can be enhanced by having financial resources.

The problem is “we’ve just been spending it all wrong,” says happiness expert Jessica Weiss .

Weiss argues that physically or mentally challenging experiences offer a delayed, yet ever-so-satisfying “earned pleasure” of having overcome an obstacle, which increases confidence.

Weiss : Your vacation starts delivering happiness the moment you book it, months before you pack your bags.
