But choosing to work for myself and spending what I earn on travel instead of meaningless items is an ideology I'm very fond of, thank you very much.

Many people can actually afford both. Stuff AND experiences, that's what life is all about! Yay Capitalism!

You can be broke or rich and accumulate shit that serves no purpose other than to comfort and/or distract you.
All about making that bubble thicker and thicker!

One might argue that the acquisition of "experiences" is no different. There are plenty of folks out there who blow their money on supposed world view changing experiences and are still dickheads.
Whatever you tell yourself to help you sleep better at night, is still a bubble.

It's like OrangestO is in high school and just read Fight Club for the first time. The things you own end up owning you, dude.

Exotic travel makes for much better Facebook bragging material. It will have your university-minted friends all giving you a pat on the back. Post a bunch of photos posing with your new Mercedes and you come off as a crass douchebag corporate ladder-climber that just got a promotion.

I laugh particularly at his "You don't know Jack" comment when he himself has made assumptions of his own. Fuck, people are stupid.
