Money should make you happy but if it doesn't then you are probably spending it the wrong way. See the eight suggested principles to help anyone to be able to get happiness from their money.

buy more experiences and fewer material goods
use your money to benefit others rather than yourself
buy many small pleasures rather than fewer large ones
eschew extended warranties and other forms of overpriced insurance
delay consumption
consider how peripheral features of your purchases may affect your day-to-day life
beware of comparison shopping
pay close attention to the happiness of others

These suggestions are not mine but are from the scientific findings of EW Dunn et al. They are valid suggestions which even without reading have been practicing. What are you take on these suggestions? Do you have more to add to what the researchers have discovered about this?

I will like to question point two, using my money to benefit others rather than myself, if this is meant at face value then I oppose that but for me, I will rather have it this way, that others should benefit from my money positively.
