Experiences vs. Stuff debate is a wrong framing because it's missing the third option: saving.
That's right. Even as a kid, Scrooge McDuck was my favorite Disney character. One of the most commonly misinterpreted wise sayings of all is “carpe diem.” It doesn't mean ‘enjoy’ the day, but rather “seize” it. Because you shouldn't rely on the next day. That's exactly why we save.
