Strive for Serenity and Security
Use your finances to make life more secure and more peaceful. “Peace of mind is critical to happiness, so use the money to pay down your debts or add to your savings,” states Rubin. For example, a big expensive house might sound wonderful, but if you don’t need the space, the effort you have to put into cleaning and the sleepless nights spent worrying about how you’re going to pay the mortgage aren’t worth it.
