3. Think that money gives happiness, but not always. The economist Richard Layard argued in his book Happiness: Lessons from a New Science, that a person should charge at least 20,000 gross euros a year to feel good.

Meik recommends that, once the basic needs are met, it is better to invest in experiences than in material things.
