While it is awesome to have a really fancy car, there are much more important things in life. Treasuring positive experiences you have provide long lasting happiness. They are special because they are unique and belong specifically to you. You should always aim to go on new adventures – weather it’s travelling to a new country or checking out a new trial near your house. These experiences will give you happiness when you look back on them years down the road. Possessions, however, can lose their happiness value quickly when new and better versions of your purchase come out. Remember how happy you were when you bought your last iPhone? That initial happiness likely faded already because new versions have already come out.
