You\u2019re probably saving to buy yourself your dream car, or a big house, or that expensive necklace, but none of it will give you that true joy, the utter fulfillment that you seek. Here&#8217;s what will:<!--more--> according to a recent scientific discovery, it\u2019s rather your journeys and experiences that will give you lasting happiness, and not your material junk.<\/p>\n<p><strong>So cheer up folks! We\u2019ve been telling our parents these reasons for years, and now there\u2019s finally some science to back us up!<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>1. Experiences <strong>&gt;<\/strong> Material things<\/h2>\n<div><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-35598\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.traveltriangle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/experience-better-than-material-things.jpg\" alt=\"better have experience than material belongings\" width=\"700\" height=\"402\" \/><\/div>\n<p><a class=\"imagesource-link\" href=\"http:\/\/static.boredpanda.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Turning-Grandmas-Old-Van-Into-an-Adventure-Mobile-to-Travel-the-Country5__880.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Image Source<\/a><br \/>\nYour newest iPhone and XBox won\u2019t give you as much happiness as would traveling to new places, meeting new people, engaging in new adventures, and trying new cuisines. Besides, \u201cwe\u2019re the sum total of our experiences\u201d, aren\u2019t we?<\/p>\n<h2>2. If happiness = traveling, then Money CAN buy happiness!<\/h2>\n<div><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-35599\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.traveltriangle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/kid-happy-in-train.jpg\" alt=\"a happy kid in a train experiencing the joy of traveling\" width=\"700\" height=\"463\" \/><\/div>\n<p><a class=\"imagesource-link\" href=\"http:\/\/www.shutterstock.com\/pic-252757915\/stock-photo-young-woman-traveling-by-train.html?src=rGo02ESTXBdzfTrAIN3kWQ-1-22\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Image Source<\/a><br \/>\nThe excitement associated with finally buying things you\u2019ve been dreaming of will fade, but the memories of that trip you took with your family years ago will always make you smile no matter how old you grow.<\/p>\n<h2>3. You are where you\u2019ve been, and not what you bought<\/h2>\n<div><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-35600\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.traveltriangle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/julia-roberts-in-EPL.jpg\" alt=\"Julia Roberts from the movie Eat Pray Love\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" \/><\/div>\n<p><a class=\"imagesource-link\" href=\"https:\/\/images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com\/images\/I\/8127ZILS1vL._SL1500_.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Image Source<\/a><br \/>\nBelieve it or not, traveling defines you. The experiences you indulge in tend to become your identities. People won\u2019t remember you for that fancy car you bought, but for all the places you took off with it!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>Must Read:<\/strong> <a class=\"mustread-link\" href=\"https:\/\/traveltriangle.com\/blog\/lehan-solo-group-trip-to-spiti-valley-travelogue\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">For The Love Of Mountains And Nature: Young, Wild, And Free In Spiti Valley<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>4. Your adventures will make great travel stories<\/h2>\n<div><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-35601\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.traveltriangle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/granny-travel-tales.jpg\" alt=\"A grandmother narrating her adventures to her grandson\" width=\"700\" height=\"350\" \/><\/div>\n<p><a class=\"imagesource-link\" href=\"http:\/\/i.huffpost.com\/gen\/4196984\/images\/o-GRANDMOTHER-facebook.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Image Source<\/a><br \/>\nWhat kind of stories would you entertain your grand-children with? The fancy lifestyle you had when young won\u2019t excite them much. Narrate to them dramatic tales of the adventures you had, the experiences you got, the risks you took, the fears you had, the discoveries you made, the lessons you learnt along the way\u2026..and they\u2019ll be your fans forever!<\/p>\n<h2>5. Traveling enhances our social relationships<\/h2>\n<div><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-35602\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.traveltriangle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/eat-pray-love-relationships-travel.jpg\" alt=\"scene from Eat Pray Love with Julia in saree with Indian woman\" width=\"700\" height=\"525\" \/><\/div>\n<p><a class=\"imagesource-link\" href=\"http:\/\/www.colors.life\/upload\/blogs\/fc\/25\/fc25b2597c843dfc3350def61c0bb8cc_RSZ_690.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Image Source<\/a><br \/>\nYou won\u2019t make many friends and contacts sitting at home. Besides, people you meet and relationships you build outside your hometown circle of friends will be rather everlasting, enriching, &amp; give you a fresher perspective on life, than your virtual opponents on high-tech video games ever will.<\/p>\n<h2>6. Facebook Check-in from a posh cafe, or from the Great Wall of China? You choose.<\/h2>\n<div><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-35624\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.traveltriangle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/facebook-check-in-diving.jpg\" alt=\"a man posting a selfie of himself cliff diving\" width=\"700\" height=\"904\" \/><\/div>\n<p>You can\u2019t deny this one. Travel photos and check-ins will prove to be a better weapon for showing off and for making your friends smoke with jealousy, than posting pictures of you in that pretty red dress from Gucci.<\/p>\n<h2>7. Need a break from your hectic work schedule? What better than to take a trip!<\/h2>\n<div><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-35626\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.traveltriangle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/taking-break-from-work.jpg\" alt=\"deepika padukone in yeh jawani hai deewani\" width=\"700\" height=\"394\" \/><\/div>\n<p><a class=\"imagesource-link\" href=\"http:\/\/wallpapers.filmibeat.com\/ph-1366x768\/2013\/04\/yeh-jawaani-hai-deewani_1365407713.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Image Source<\/a><br \/>\nGoing clubbing with your gang will only make you forget about your angry boss or your annoying ex for the day.

Tell me how much you have traveled\u201d. Trust me, Wikipedia won\u2019t tell you as much (or as accurately) about a destination, as your holiday there would. Seeing new cultures and meeting new people will teach you things you never knew about the world.<\/p>\n<h2>9. Traveling helps us discover who we really are<\/h2>\n<div><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-35636\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.traveltriangle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/traveling-identifies-you.jpg\" alt=\"a girl sitting on a beach, free and independent\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" \/><\/div>\n<p><a class=\"imagesource-link\" href=\"http:\/\/www.shutterstock.com\/pic-248425678\/stock-photo-female-traveler-admiring-a-marine-view-instagram-filter-applied.html?src=aj-JrJUX8zTKEZZAncT-Sw-1-95\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Image Source<\/a><br \/>\nYou never really know what you\u2019re capable of and what skills you possess, until you venture out, experience new situations, &amp; face challenges. Successfully trekking miles to a mountaintop, getting stranded in a foreign area &amp; figuring out the way- these will actually strengthen your self-confidence and give you skills to deal with life better, as opposed to your material belongings.<\/p>\n<h2>10. Things perish, but memories stay\u2026.forever<\/h2>\n<div><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-35638\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.traveltriangle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/adventure-book-from-Up.jpg\" alt=\"pages from Ellie's adventure scrapbook from the movie Up\" width=\"700\" height=\"772\" \/><\/div>\n<p><a class=\"imagesource-link\" href=\"https:\/\/pbs.twimg.com\/media\/Cm9aZWNXgAA-_Z3.jpg:large\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Image Source<\/a><br \/>\nThe materialistic, short-lived things you buy will leave you once they have served their purpose.
