What types of spending would people be most surprised to learn can buy them happiness? Gifts to charity. Money donated to a good cause doesn’t help just the recipient. The act of giving produces such positive feelings of self-worth in the giver that he/she gets more than his money’s worth. There is even some evidence that giving money to charity makes people healthier.
The secret is to select a cause that is meaningful to you. You won’t get much happiness from charitable giving if someone else selects the charity... or if the money is given to whatever charity calls you to ask for a donation.
