Research shows collecting Experiences provides more lasting happiness than collecting material things.
We adapt to new things quickly and the excitement fades.
But Experiences become apart of who we are and give us stories to share for years to come. With pictures and memories that can last a lifetime!
Why experiences win:
- Anticipation is free happiness – Planning a trip gives you weeks of excitement before you even go
- Memories appreciate – That date gets better every time you retell it
- Social connection – Experiences with others strengthen relationships
- No buyer’s remorse – Even “bad” experiences become funny stories
Shifting your budget from things to experiences isn’t about deprivation. It’s about investing in what actually matters.
That $300 could be another piece of clothing you’ll forget about, or it could be a weekend adventure you’ll talk about for decades.
Try this today: Look at your last 3 purchases over $100. Would you trade any of them for a memorable experience instead? Plan one experience for next month.
