I could not agree with you more! Possessions vs. experiences is a no brainer. I spent less on Christmas gifts this year and did my family care? No! I spent less on material do-dads for myself and do I miss them? No! I have made some serious life changes last quarter that require me to prioritize my spending. You know what feels better than buying a new kitchen gadget? A tango class! I’m nuts about tango, devouring classes in the Seattle area. This year I will travel to Buenos Aires to take classes and dance till my feet fall off.

You know what else feels good? Walking around Green Lake with an old friend. That is what I did with my morning yesterday. Didn’t cost me a dime and boy do I feel richer.
