Consumerism & happyness




Consumerism is a pretty controversial topic. Almost everybody agrees that money cannot buy happyness, actually some researchers have found that buying life experiences (concert tickets or a weekend away) makes people happier that buying possessions. But that is still buying!


According to this, I found a very interesting webpage where you can take free surveys to find out what kind of shopper you are and how spending choices affect are affected;

                                                 http://www.beyondthepurchase.org/

                                         
This is a webpage created by psychologists of San Francisco State University with the main objective of knowing how consumers spend their money.
