   Awesome post Ray! This is so true. I’m so happy to say I would take the experience over the stuff too. In fact, I’m typing this the morning after I got back from San Diego, CA with my wife. We woke up two days ago and just decided to go. No thinking or planning.. just woke up, packed and left. It was GREAT. We have so many fun stories now because of it!

   Thanks for being a great leader!

   I am 100% behind you Ray. I am much more for the EXPERIENCES than for the STUFF. Don’t get me wrong, the stuff is nice, but the experiences are the things that when you sit down and count your many blessings are always the things that I am most grateful for along with my family and friends and good health of course. EXPERIENCES are the things that when you are sitting down with your best friends and hanging out that bring back the emotion just like you were there all over again. The EMOTION that the EXPERIENCES bring is something that will last us a lifetime!
   My vote is the EXPERIENCES over the STUFF…Love the stuff but LOVE and TREASURE the EXPERIENCES! The stuff comes and goes……the Experiences are with us forever!

   I agree with you wholehartedly. I’ve been a student of Robert Kiyosaki for many years. I try very hard to keep my “doo-dad” consuption to a minimum. My philosophy on “stuff” is, “If you can’t buy it with cash, you don’t need it.” I continue Robert’s teachings and my ideas with my daughters. If we don’t teach our kids these philosophies, who will? Please continue with your inspiring and knowledgable posts and/or blogs. I admire you as well.

   Thank you Ray for all the inspiring words and like you I feel I love all the beautiful things in this world we must enjoy no matter how bad they seem sometimes. As for people, there are no bad people though some do make mistakes that aren’t very pleasant. It is pretty much our duty as human beings to lead these type of people to a better life for all of our sake’s. I so much like the beauty in nature and yearn to see all it has to offer us. What we are building here, which I’m overjoyed to be a part of is the perfect vehicle to move us forward and improve our lives and all of those who will follow us.

   Thank you also for OnlyWire submitter.
