    Shopping for Happiness

    Finding out what money buys. 

    What and Why

    It was my mother’s dying wish that I spend money on myself – so I'm going to do it. For the next year, using money she left me, I'm going to spend $1,000 per month on fun things – clothes, travel, who knows?  – and see if it changes my life.  

    As I honour my mom's wish — and write about it — I hope to start a conversation about how women feel about money, spending and self-worth.  

    Help start that conversation by telling me what you would buy with $1,000 and why. Click here!
