There is overwhelming evidence that experiences make people happier than material possessions. Furthermore, people tend to see materialistic people as more selfish and less enjoyable to engage with in social settings.
So much of our materialist desires are mimetic, that is, we don't actually want them intrinsically, we want them due to our bias for social comparison and imitation. In other words, we want nice things because other people want them.
If we invest in experiences, we feel more satisfied and connected to other people who have had similar experiences. When reflecting on the experiences we spend money on, we tend to feel more connected to others in general, more likely to engage in social activities and to behave in a way that benefits society as a whole.
So if you're looking to get a happiness return on your investment (hROI), play around but buying experiences instead of things.
