Money Can Buy Experiences
Lance Cothern, a certified public accountant, said he has been interested in money for as long as he can remember. So, he created the Money Manifesto blog to help others better manage their finances.
Having money enables his family to have adventures that continue to bring them joy, long after they have returned from their travels, he said.
“I believe money brings us happiness because it allows us to experience the things we dream of doing,” he said. “Without money, many of us would never be able to experience that once-in-a-lifetime trip to Europe or Alaska.”
A GOBankingRates survey revealed that many Americans share Cothern’s attitude. When asked how they would spend an unexpected $10,000 windfall, 10 percent of people said they’d take a vacation, while another 25 percent said they’d invest in a home.
