You really can’t put a price on happiness

If you’re in a relationship where you keep spending and spending, hoping that happiness is just on the other side of this next vacation or this next set of gifts, unfortunately, that’s likely not true. Research has even found that being in a loving relationship is a much bigger indicator of happiness levels than getting a salary increase. It’s proof that more money can’t solve issues of depression or dissatisfaction in life. Using grand gestures and massive spending to avoid facing toxicity in a relationship is simply not a sustainable model. You’ll go broke before fixing even one relationship issue. And if you can’t get along doing something “boring” and simple with your partner, how are you supposed to spend a life together?
