Experiences Make Us More Happy Than Stuff

brave ski mom logoI saw this infographic back in February.

There is some food for thought here.

And remember, to paraphrase Humphrey Bogart, “we’ll always have skiing.”

Thank goodness!

If you want to be happy, spend money on experiences, not things

    This is spot on! Any of the stuff I’ve collected over the years (art, gear, books, etc) ultimately end up in the garage (or better, donated to charity). But I’m still reliving experiences through memories and stories told to friends and family.

    Great post and great blog. Thanks for sharing.

    This is a fantastic article!
    I agree that experiences are much more memorable than items. You can lose and buy as many items as you want, but you will never get the same experience twice.

    Thanks for sharing this article.
