The world we live in seems to have turned us into money making robots with ever-increasing desire to earn more only to spend more. Many have fallen victim to this vicious circle of making earning their top priority. What happened to keeping it real? Fun-seeking, experience-hunting, and just letting loose once in awhile? Now don't get me wrong, bills, rent and college debt won’t pay itself, but what you do with the rest of your paycheck, is what makes all the difference. Studies show that people who collect experiences instead of things, show much bigger and longer-lasting signs of contentedness. When you spend time and money doing things or going places with other people in your life, you get a chance to enjoy sharing your experiences with others. This way you enrich your life, and apart from learning new skills and discovering new places, you learn a lot about yourself and others, and get valuable life lessons no gadget in the world, no matter how advanced, can teach you. Growing older, the excitement of buying the latest smart phone, TV or a car will be long forgotten, but moments you shared on your trips or events with your friends and family will be vivid in your memory forever. After all we don't know what tomorrow will bring. Remember you can't take it with you so plan something new and different this weekend. Get out and enjoy a real life experience. Don't forget to love always, forgive quickly and smile along the way.
God Bless
Jason
