Life's experiences

I feel lucky to be living in a time when experiences are more accessible than ever before. I can reach any part of the globe in under 24 hours for $2,500 or less. Additionally, I can discover virtually anything, from learning new languages to cooking exotic dishes, all on the internet. For the first time, I can pursue any endeavour or connect with anyone. What better use of my money, time, knowledge, health, and relationships than to engage in exciting activities with loved ones? Among all the trade-offs I face, choosing to invest in experiences instead of financial wealth is a decision I will never regret. While money is an endless resource, experiences, like time, are limited.
How many chances do I have to enjoy dinner with friends or explore a skill I’ve always wanted to learn? Money is best spent on the experiences I crave. I aim to live a life filled with experiences and financial stability. When I reflect on my life, will I cherish the joyful moments shared with loved ones, or will I feel content knowing I didn’t squander my time and money on material things that don’t really matter?
