Why A U2 Concert Is Better Than A New Prada Bag

Experiences > Stuff

Now a U2 concert may not be everyone's cup of tea.  It may be seeing your alma mater in the Rose Bowl (still waiting, Bear Down Arizona!), an experience as a family volunteering to help the less fortunate, or a family vacation that started with us locked on a military base eating bags of chips for dinner (don't ask); but the things that remain with us are the moments we experience. Those shared experiences get stronger over time as the stories get recounted and embellished.  Even the bad ones. The joy you felt when you picked up your iPhone 7 fades but your memories get sweeter.
