COLLECT MOMENTS NOT THINGS!

We live in an era where we want experiences more than we want stuff. 

While working for top brands I learnt that the thrill of purchasing things fades very quickly however, the joy and memories of experiences, from epic adventures to minute encounters, can last a lifetime.

Today, people who spent money on experiences rather than material items were happier and felt the money was better spent.

Experiences are also what people increasingly use to define themselves across social channels. Take a spin through your Instagram and Facebook feeds, and you’re more likely to see a friend’s trip to Australia or pictures of their baby on the beach in Tulum versus photos of a Vuitton bag or new pair of Louboutins.

I wonder, in old era you used to impress people with your car and your house, because that’s what people saw. Today people impress others by the experiences they are posting on social media.

There is greediness for these unique, intense and shareable experiences.

And there is also a piece of it which is purer – ‘ I don’t need the stuff, I want the memory’!
