How about having 2 years of fuck you money? You missed the point of the article. It's not that money doesn't make you "happy", just that there are other things you can buy with money that give you more lasting happiness.

But I wouldn't prioritize having those experiences above having money. If having an amazing experience put me under my comfort level with money-in-bank, then on the mid-term, they'd make me pretty unhappy. On the very long term, I might remember them as great. Or I might remember them as dumb because I wasted money and opportunity cost. But it's possible that I am permanently biased because I grew up with a very everpresent lack of money.
