As the popular saying goes "money cannot buy happiness", but is it really true? According to an article from LendingTree, an online loan marketplace, 33% of Americans stated that money brings them more contentment than love does. This percentage is quite remarkable but also varies from individual to individual. We can be certain that money does offer some level of joy, although it can drive some people to insanity, similar to some high-profile celebrities.

Even though money can be a limiting factor for many, it's something that all of us have dreamed of having in abundance. Reddit user u/GrouchyResolution974 gave us a peek into others' desires by posing the question: "If money was no object, what's one thing you would treat yourself to regularly?" This topic was widely popular on Reddit, receiving 22K upvotes and 12.4K comments with some fascinating responses.

"Weekly housekeeping services. I really hate housekeeping.", commented EmotionalAnt9586 "When my kids transitioned from full-time daycare to before/after when they hit school age, we put the extra savings towards an every-other-week house cleaner. We were already used to paying as much as we were so it was a pretty good added benefit.", says freezerwpg "Added benefit: you can’t let crap pile up (unless you wanna feel like a total shitheel), so you end up with less lingering half-finished household chores, at least for a couple of days out of the two-week cycle.", Said bonos_bovine_muse

2. Dental Care

"My back tooth is just gone after a failed root canal. An implant would run like 6 grand. I've just had nothing there for like 2 years now.", said Funktastic34 "I don’t have dental insurance and have cavities. It’s like a grand plus to fix, may not seem like a lot but I don’t have that to just toss away. I hate American healthcare." commented OtherWorldRedditor

3. Massages
