How many times have you been told money can't buy happiness?

It's time to abandon this old chestnut because money is a powerful tool, which can in fact buy you all of the things you never thought it could: peace of mind, a healthier lifestyle, more time to do the things you love, stronger relationships, security, and loads of fun.

In a world where we're bombarded with the temptations of conspicuous consumption, personal finance columnist MP Dunleavey presents an antidote to empty spending. Through quizzes, worksheets, real life examples, and sound financial advice, MP shows you how to stop throwing your money away on fleeting pleasures like the hot new designer handbag, or the biggest house on the block, and start investing in your own portfolio of happiness.

Reallocating your assets to reflect what really satisfies you is the way to enjoy a life of true wealth. Money CanBuy Happinessis for anyone who believes finishing happy is more important than finishing rich.
