Why does spending on indulgences make me feel more depressed, not happier?

[jennifer_bloom]

As a Christian, I find being indulgent with food or money makes me feel less happy, it does not make me more happy.

Today I went to Mandarin Buffet for a birthday celebration, and when I came home, I was depressed, and I know the depression was caused by the fact I ate a gluttonous meal for lunch.

It was just like last time when I got a lot of money and spent it on books I did not have time to read, and I became depressed for being indulgent with money on things I do not need.

The happiest times in my life were the times where I spent the least amount of money on indulgences and things I do not need.

So what is the lesson that you learned

Next time give it all away

That'll make up for the last two times

By McDonald's gift certificates buy a bunch of bread jelly peanut butter Coca-Cola whatever and take it down to the homeless people give the money to somebody else help somebody else

sometimes it isn't the key to happiness
