Spent Money on Relationship Not Things

I just bought a plane ticket to visit 3 old friends whom I have not seen for more than 25 years. The departure date is six months from now, so the ticket is affordable. I do not usually spend money, but I feel that this is worthwhile. Instead of getting the latest gadget, the money spend allows me to connect back with my young and naive days. The memory of seeing 3 good friends would beat any material goods. Material goods would spoil and get thrown out; memories will be not. It follows me to the grave. I worked very hard for money, not to buy things but memories that I can carry with me.
