Cherish Experiences, Not Things

By Gavin Delany

November 22, 2018

Quick reminder from your friends at Stride - don't fall for the Cyber Monday marketing blitzes. If you need help distracting yourself, delight yourself by virtually visiting an awe-inspiring spot on the globe you’ve never been before.

If you’re feeling compelled to buy a lot of ‘things’ the next couple of weeks, we’d like to gently remind you that for the people that matter, the ‘stuff’ doesn’t matter.

When we're content with ourselves, the people and experiences around us, we buy less. Most companies indirectly encourage you to feel deficient in some way as a result.

Our human connections are the most important thing to celebrate and focus on over the holidays. So if you find yourself reaching for your wallet, consider reaching for your phone instead. (To call a friend. Not to play Candy Crush.)  

Our best wishes for a connected holiday season filled with love for you and yours.

Gavin & the Stride Team
