Things or Experiences?

[SavingSweetOneL]

Ellessar,

That is a good point, and one I hadn't considered before, that one can talk about experiences for years to come, and things are only for show.

I'd love to say experiences, but fact of the matter is that things need to be given a certain amount of importance too.

We recently purchased an RV which has made many memorable experiences.

I guess that goes for all expensive toys, and I can still sell it. Unlike that vacation.

There are things that create experiences and things that are just, well, things. I love to go do things with my kids, but that doesn't mean we need to buy all the "stuff" that they sell to help you "remember" the experience.

I've always been a "things" person but not in materialistic way...if that makes sense. I could go to a sporting event, buy drinks/food, pay for parking, and pay over $100...or I could buy a new power tool that I will find many uses for over a number of years

That's my kind of mentality - I def find it hard to spend a lot of money on a "one night" kind of event.

Not me. I recently spent the evening in the company of some of my favorite co-workers at a Bon Jovi concert. We got the cheapest seats possible ($35). We were up in the rafters (literally). But it was a night I won't forget soon.

Not that I don't find the occasional event to not be fun or worth it, I just have friends that every weekend they're going to a sports game and I know they're spending at least $75 or more every time, and in my eyes I think I can get more utility spending my money elsewhere.

Experience :
recently got a good experience never be too good to anybody ohterwise they will try to rule over you and dominate you, so don't let people to do that just keep them at a certain safe distance and let them know their limits so that they don't try to cross them.

"Things" might not make me happy, but at least I can sell a used handbag in the future. I can't sell a trip I took to Australia.
