Experiences are what last, not stuff. Live and learn.
That's exactly why I don't pay any money beyond coach class. I think of all the other travels I could fund with the money that I would pay towards upgrading to a higher class. Staying longer in places or taking another vacation, means more experiences, so I definitely agree with you!
