The title of the research study is awesome: "If Money Doesn't Make You Happy Then You Probably Aren't Spending It Right." :)
Okay, so take the kids to legoland rather than buying them the new lego set!

Yes take the kids to LEGOLAND!

Thx @Julian, given the number of times they've been to Legoland, they should be whistling dixie.....or at least zip-da-dee-doo-da http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0085995/quotes :-)
It's amazing and ironic that our society, which is utterly based on consumption, offers its people so little wisdom -- or even practical advice -- about how to consume WELL.
For instance, even in terms of vacations... I still wonder whether you get the most bang for the buck by spending on transportation, lodging, food and drink, or entertainment. I've had memorable trips that were all over the map on all of these.
America is like a buffet.
It's not good, but there's so much to consume that you kind of forget that fact.
