3.  Experiences are unforgettable and joyful memories

As this moments cross your mind, you smile and thought of reliving that experience again. That is the kind of everlasting happiness investing in experience gives you.

4. Experience is fun and exciting

Another reason why people continue to invest in experience is due to the excitement they derive from it, apart from the fact that it exposes them to a new world.

Road trips, mountain climbing,  water surfing, travelling are very exciting experiences nobody can get tired of, because no matter how many times you do it, it gets new and exciting.
