According to Uncoached.com, here are four times where money actually does buy happiness:

1) Buying Gifts and Giving to Others: Even buying a cup of coffee for a friend goes a long way toward making them and you happy.

2) Travel: What's the point of making money if you don't use it on fun stuff? Taking a trip is all about making memories, fun, and happy memories. Live a little!

3) Hobbies or Skills: Spending money on learning a new skill takes your mind off a lot of things as long as it's a skill you enjoy, and will make you happier. Don’t waste money on something that you have no interest in.

4) Investing in Yourself Physically and Mentally: Don’t be embarrassed about going to things like therapy or yoga. Taking steps to improve yourself is a great investment.
