Which would you rather spend your money on, an outing with friends or a pair of expensive shoes? It is my opinion that spending money on experiences brings greater happiness.My first r___1___ is that experiences make us different as we grow. We are not the result of the things we’ve bought. Instead, we are the result of everything we’ve seen and done. For example, getting expensive clothes didn’t c___2___ me as a person, but the camping trip last summer certainly did. It made me more independent.In addition, I p___3___ experiences because they bring people together. Sharing a new experience develops stronger relationships and creates long-lasting memories. Three years ago I met some teenagers on a study trip and now I am s___4___ in touch with them, but I hardly remember what I bought during the trip.My final point is that, although some people say it is a great j___5___ to own things, I think using the things you own is more pleasant. For example, I spend most of my spare money on new parts for my old mountain bike, but I love the experience of c___6___, not owning bike parts!To sum up, experiences make us who we are and develop stronger relationships.
