We often buy things with money, it has become a part of our life. But spending money on things of famous brands, which is sometimes just to brag, is not a good way of putting it. Why not spend the time and money on planning a trip? It could be for your family or friends to create memories. It would be more valuable than spending the money to buy useless things, or some that you already have.

Earning

When we talk about money, the first step is to earn. But how do we earn experiences? For money, you go to work, there is always something for you to do. With experience, you simply make them by yourself, whether it is intentionally or unintentionally. When you do hard work, the more money you get; and with better experiences, you learned more from them. Earning experiences merited more than just money. You might have made a special memory with someone you’re dear to, or you had a realization after you experienced something.

Saving

Saving money is the next step after earning, you have to keep your money from losing. Same with saving money, memories may slip away easily, you can save it with pictures, videos and more. Priceless experiences or more happier ones make them even more valuable and never leaves your mind. Saving memories, at some other point, means to remember what you learned from the experiences.

Buying

Buying things with money seems like something everyone would do everyday, but why not stop and think what you could buy with experiences? By my point of view, experiences are a way to learn. They aren’t always things you relish, it might be some awful memory or humiliation that you do not want to face, but in another point of view, it is also the best material for learning. You learn from past mistakes to prevent them from happening again, and you learn from successful experience to know what you’ve done different from before that made this experience a success.

Not everything you learn comes from schools or courses, people should always learn from experiences, too. Learning from experiences also means to face every mistake, and finding the problem that needed to be changed.
