Many people want to buy the newest gadget, the fastest car and the most expensive watch—but what are these things really worth?

For some people, these items give them status. They're cool because they have a cool car, or they're better at the newest Xbox game. Lots of people say that buying new things makes them happy. They like having new, pretty and impressive things. The problem is that people don't stay happy and the feeling they get when they buy something new fades. There's a new iPhone. You stop liking your car. Your friend has Beats in a different color and they're so much nicer! Things get old and outdated, and someone else always has something better.

So what can you buy and stay happy with? The research suggests that the best thing to spend your extra money on is doing things like traveling, learning to cook, speaking a language, skiing or surfing. What about going to the theater, eating at a Michelin star restaurant or climbing a mountain？

In the long term, people are happier with money they spend on activities than on things. You don't remember what shoes you wore, but you remember running the marathon! When you do new things or things you enjoy, you gain life experience and memories. You can share adventures with people and tell stories. It's always fun when you meet someone who has done the same thing as you and you can interchange stories. You have an instant connection with this person and can have an amazing time comparing the things you've done. Even if you don't enjoy the experience, you can learn something and often a little while later you see the positives of it. So forget about designer clothes and fancy gadgets!
