People, and especially those between the ages of 22 and 37, are increasingly spending their money on experiences, rather than material objects. From concerts to guided tours, they see it as a way of enriching their lives. If you recently received a holiday bonus or have saved up for the express purpose of treating yourself, consider the benefits of using that money to make new memories. 

You Get More Out of It

When you spend money on an item instead of an event, you may be able to use it multiple times, but likely with fading interest. Not only can planning a new trip be a joy in and of itself, as the anticipation builds, but trying new activities, meeting new people, and seeing new places will open your world up to previously unimagined possibilities, perspectives, and insights, which is how you grow as a person. The Grand Canyon, for example, is one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World and those who have taken a guided tour through its depths often come away in awe that nature could have sculpted something so beautiful. Afterward, you'll be able to relieve the journey in your memory and to reminisce about it fondly with loved ones. 

It’s Better for You

Choosing to spend your money on events, guided tours, or trips will have lasting impacts on your overall wellness. Recent studies have shown that those who travel more are less likely to be stressed or depressed. Physically speaking, men who refrain from taking a vacation for several years are at a 30% increased risk of a heart attack. Furthermore, by choosing to spend this time with family or close friends, you help strengthen those bonds—just the kind of social activity that has been shown to reduce stress levels and lower blood pressure.
