Spending money on experiences isn't superior to spending it on stuff
The stuff is still here. The experience is a story you retell at parties.
This hill is unclaimed. Nobody is willing to die on it. Yet. First blood pending.
- Pay, and you hold it.
- Anyone can dethrone you for more.
- Every claim stays on the record.
No claims on the record.
The other side
The advice hardened because closets filled up. A sofa gets compared to the next sofa, and the pleasure drains within weeks of delivery. A trip resists that. Nobody ranks a honeymoon against a neighbour's honeymoon. Objects also demand maintenance and storage, and they sit in the room long after the novelty leaves. Memory keeps working for free.
