Experiences Over Stuff Is a Tired–and Sexist–Idea

The sexism connection is tenuous. Par for the course.<p>They&#x27;re both wrong. Experiences are great and stuff is great if it&#x27;s building on itself. Both of them are crap if they&#x27;re just stuffing things into a bloated &quot;misc&quot; pile.<p>Like the author&#x27;s example, if you&#x27;re building a home, then the stuff is good. If you&#x27;re just destroying money, then the stuff is bad. If you&#x27;re building a personality by meeting foreign people, then the experiences are good. If you&#x27;re just avoiding responsibility, then the experiences are bad.
