Beyond Stuff: Why You Should Buy Experiences Instead

Ever since the blog started, almost every year before the Black Friday sale, I will come up with a list of recommendation on what to buy or more like what I would like to buy. This year, I thought long and hard to come up with that list but I can’t think of anything.

RETHINKING POSSESSIONS

Survey your closet and cabinets; chances are, they’re already well-stocked. In a world where space is a premium, I propose a shift in focus. Rather than suggesting items to buy this Black Friday, I encourage you to invest your extra funds in experiences that leave lasting memories.

MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE WITH IMAGE CONSULTATION

Embracing the philosophy of “Be contented but never complacent,” I recently invested in a unique experience myself. I was recently in California visiting my family member, I enrolled in “The Complete Consultation” with The Style Core, led by the esteemed Carla Mathis—an icon in the image consulting world. Says who you can’t learn anything while holidaying?

Those three hours spent in Chico were among the most enriching of my life, revealing aspects about myself that I subconsciously practiced but had never consciously recognized. Carla’s insight expanded my self-awareness, adding on knowledge to my previous diagnosis and highlighting the fun, spring-like aspects of my personality.

These invaluable experiences now contribute to my reservoir of knowledge, enhances my ability to assist others on their image journeys.

MY TESLA EXPERIENCE

Rented a Tesla 3

Ever wondered what it feels like to drive a Tesla? I certainly did! Renting one for the drive to Chico was a decision I will never regret. With a drop-off and pick-up service, all I needed to do was plan my journey, ensuring sufficient power for the round trip.

Driving a Tesla was a memorable and hassle-free experience. While I might not buy one in Malaysia due to infrastructure constraints, the ease of renting in the U.S. makes it an opportunity to buy an experience rather than a possession. 

But never say never! I might not buy now but maybe I’ll change my mind in 2 to 3 years time when Malaysia is more ready for full electric cars.
