I’ve found that investing in experiences brings me more happiness than buying new things. Social media often suggests that staying up to date with the latest trends is the key to happiness, but while buying something new is thrilling at first, the excitement fades quickly, leading to a cycle of clutter I’m trying to avoid. To stay clutter-free, I’m focusing on giving experiences as gifts to family and friends. They seem to find these gifts more special and delightful compared to physical items.
