The nature of happiness

(1/5) > >>

LTK:
New Scientist is giving away some books and to be eligible they want you to answer one question: Which item that you purchased in the past 10 years has brought you the most happiness – and why?

Which is a really weird question and I'm struggling to come up with an answer. An 'item' is also poorly defined. Is my apartment an item? Does it count if I rent it? I could say my university education made me happy, and I can consider my diploma an item that I paid for with tuition fees, but that's not the same, is it?

What would your answer be?

(click to show/hide)Duh!

GarandMarine:
Beer.

Method of Madness:
Ahh, but which beer made you the happiest? It asks about a single purchase!

Metope:
Past 10 years? That is tricky. I would say my education too, but that's not an actual item. The item I owned that made me the most happy was probably my old bike, but I didn't buy it, it was a hand-me-down from my grandma who hadn't used it in 20 years. So I have an item I didn't buy and something I bought that isn't an item.  :-P
