But that's my personality. I'm more than willing to pay money to do things I've never done before, go places I've never gone or to see things I've never seen before. Are they occasionally a rip off? Yep. But at least I'll have the experience forever (or until the Alzheimer's sets in). Having a life rich in experiences is also a perfect complement to my other passion, being maddeningly well read. I should also add that happiness derived from experiences tends to last way longer than happiness derived from purchasing material things.

It is always tough to determine whether something is 'worth it' for another person; we all have different values and different priorities, and it's difficult, if not impossible, to extrapolate onto another person's situation. It's like asking whether a particular purchase is worth it; it all depends on your own situation and perspective. Interesting article.

I have been thinking a lot about that too, and I feel like the answer is "Yes and no." It all just depends. I think we can often use it as an excuse to spend a bunch of money, when we could have equally as good of a time with our family by going to the park and spending a day barbecuing or something.
