Collect more moments and less things. Easier said than done. It took some time for me to realize that life has more meaning when I'm collecting more moments and less things. After 30+ years, I finally simplified my life and started spending a disproportionate amount of my money on experiences rather than material possessions. Becoming a parent and traveling with my family helped me reprioritize my time, energy, and money on creating meaningful moments for my family and I.
