One day after school you stumble upon a Nintendo Switch listing.  You really really really want to buy it but you look at your bank account and see that you don’t have enough money. You think to yourself, "If I had enough money to buy the Switch, it would make me really happy."

For the next couple of days, you keep thinking about how happy having a Switch would make you. Somehow you manage to get enough money to purchase the Switch. 

A few days later the Switch arrives at your house. You unbox it and start playing with it. A couple hours later, you find yourself getting bored with it and you feel nothing anymore.

You think to yourself, “Does money really make me happy?”
