Be happy! Voluntary simplicity can work
I wrote a few months ago about Voluntary Simplicity as a way to get rid of debt. Now the New York Times reports that research has found that voluntary simplicity can effectively make people happier.
The study found that when people invested more in intrinsic values, like relationships and quality of life, and less in consumption, it seemed to increase their happiness. And, the study suggested, there may be a financial gain to doing so. Those in the simplicity group were far more likely than the control group to say that they were careful about their spending, Professor Kasser said.
