I DON'T WANT TO PUT THE FIRST DENT IN THE CAR

“Psychological research suggests that, in the long run, experiences make people happier than possessions. That’s in part because the initial joy of acquiring a new object, such as a new car, fades over time as people become accustomed to seeing it every day, experts said. Experiences, on the other hand, continue to provide happiness through memories long after the event occurred.”

I can now drive Kent's new Honda Civic. A neighbor hit his bumper and left a dent last night. It was evident this morning that Kent and the neighbor were still feeling stress.
