There isn't really a clear separation between the two. People can experience physical things exactly the same as an activity or a vacation.

- johnthuss 3y agoOne big difference is that physical things exact an on-going tax since you have to store them in your house and maintain them. Hence the "does it spark joy?" question. That said, the up-side is that physical goods can provide on-going benefit. For example, I love my AirPods Pro - they bring me joy every day.
- neogodless 3y agoSo you bought an ongoing experience instead of a one-time experience. Seems like the objects enable experiences. However, due to hedonic adaptation, you might get less value out of those daily experiences over time. - collectible? one-time novelty object but possible ongoing "look at my things" experience - tech item? possibly ongoing experiences - status symbol? ongoing experience getting admiration of people that care about such things - sharp reliable chisel? ongoing experience every time you partake in your creative hobby - travel itinerary? one-time period of experiences but ongoing photographs, stories and memories It's not clear cut at all, in my opinion, the delineation between experiences and things.
