When the sand began kicking up and hitting our faces, I started to worry that maybe we had made a mistake.

That afternoon, my dad had stood on the deck (¶̨) of our home and laughed as our neighbors packed up their cars and headed inland. They left to spend the night in motels or at friends¡¯ homes that were out of range of approaching summer storm.

Challenging the weather that threatened to damping our spirits, we lit a fire on the beach. Dad told jokes and we had a good time. When it was 6:30 p.m., all laughter disappeared. Our eyes were drawn to the sky. A tornado (Áú¾í·ç) was headed straight for us! In a flash, we were all on our feet. The wind started screaming and now we were running to the cottage. My mom stopped next to the front door. ¡°Where can we go?¡± She shouted at my dad.

Most cottages on this part of Lake Michigan had been built without basements. Ours was no exception. The huge windows and the cottage itself wouldn¡¯t offer safety from high wind.

¡°Follow me!¡± my dad yelled. We crawled (ÅÀ) beneath the deck, pressing ourselves against the foundation of the cottage. Between the deck supports, we watched the approaching storm in silent terror.

My dad shouted, ¡°Hold on!¡± and something else I couldn¡¯t hear over the screaming wind. I think he was praying. By the time it reached our cottage, it was nothing more than a strong wind. The rest of the storm lasted for an hour and then simply blew away.

¡°Next time, we¡¯ll stay inland at Grandma¡¯s. Okay?¡± my dad said.

According to researchers, money can buy happiness, but only if you spend it on someone else. Spending as little as $5 a day on someone else could significantly bring you happiness, the team at the University of British Columbia and Harvard Business School found.

Their experiments on more than 630 Americans showed they were measurably (ÊʶȵØ) happier when they spent money on others--even if they thought spending the money on themselves would make them happier.

¡°We wanted to test our theory that how people spend their money is at least as important as how much money they earn,¡± said Elizabeth Dunn, a psychologist at the University of British Columbia.

They asked their 600 volunteers first to rate their general happiness, report their annual income and detail their monthly spending including bills, gifts for themselves, gifts for others and donations to charity.

¡°Regardless of how much income each person made, those who spent money on others reported greater happiness, while those who spent more on themselves did not,¡± Dunn said in a statement.

Dunn¡¯s team also surveyed 16 employees at a company in Boston before and after they received an annual profit-sharing bonus of between $3,000 and $8,000.

¡°Employees who devoted more of their bonus to pro-social (ÓÐÒæÉç»áµÄ) spending experienced greater happiness after receiving the bonus, and the manner in which they spent that bonus was a more important predictor of their happiness than the size of the bonus itself,¡± they wrote in their report, published in the journal Science.

They gave their volunteers $5 or $20 and half got clear instructions on how to spend it. Those who spent the money on someone or something else reported feeling happier about it.

¡°These findings suggest that very minor alterations in spending allocations (·ÖÅä) --as little as $5--may be enough to produce real gains in happiness on a given day,¡± Dunn said.
