I get the general attitude/perspective and I'm largely in agreement. I'll nit-pick on his point of buying experiences vs things. Though I agree that instagrammable experiences don't have much meaningful value, I do value a lot experiences where I paid not an insignificant amount of money. I'm assuming the author meant some balance but called something out based on his impression of an audience (maybe some projection on his part). But "paid experiences" can meaningfully lead to personal growth, perspective of other countries/peoples, deepening friendships. That being said - you should have good long term finances to even make all that viable.
