Weve always been told its true, but now experts have proved that money really cant buy you happiness.

They quizzed jackpot winners and came up with 10 tips to keep you feeling on top of the world.

And the results were surprising. No flash cars of expensive jewellery. Instead it was the simple pleasures, available to almost anybody, that bring the most enjoyment.

Top of the list is spending time with your family.

But jackpot winners advice is: Dont give up work. Having a regular routine and social interaction are essential. Keeping up friendships is important too, as is a stable marriage.

Buying your own home, preferably in the North where people are friendlier, is a good idea. But dont get into debt.

No matter how much money you have, living within your means is vital if you want to avoid stress.

Dr Richard Tunney, of Nottingham University said: “The old saying‘money cant buy you happiness may not be true, but traditional family values, a comfortable home and financial security are clearly key elements to a happy life.”

我们总是被告知金钱不能买到幸福,如今专家们已经证实了确实如此。

他们测试了赌桥牌的赢家,并拿出10美元的小费让你有一种普天之下,舍我其谁的感觉。

测试结果让人大吃一惊。不是镶有昂贵珠宝的金光闪闪的汽车,而是每个让人都能感受到的简单愉悦给我们带来最大的幸福感。

最重要的获得与家人在一起。

然而桥牌赢家的建议是：不要放弃工作。规律的日常工作和社会交往是必需的。就像稳定的婚姻一样，维持友谊也是同样重要的。

在人们都很友好的北部买一个你自己的房子，是一个不错的主意。不过不要负债。

不论你有多少钱，最重要的是以你自己的方式生活，这样可以消除压力。

诺丁汉大学的理查德•唐尼博士说：俗话说的‘金钱不能为你买到幸福也许不对，但是传统的家庭价值、一个舒适的家和可靠的经济确是幸福生活的关键要素。
