So we shouldn’t be aiming for those useless consumer baubles you see, no, rather, we should be experiencing the glories of the world around us….
Which would make you
happier, owning a Ferrari or taking time out to walk the Machu Picchu
trail in southern Peru? According to an intriguing piece of research
published last week by the bank Dresdner Kleinwort Wasserstein, you’d
be better off taking the walk. The elusive route to contentment,
according to the City analyst who wrote the report, lies not in
material possessions but in experiences such as scuba diving and exotic
holidays.
Well, aye, that’s the route I’ve personally taken. Lots of living in odd places, doing interesting things rather than storing up the physical baubles. But I’m still not sure about the actual comparison made there:

Having actually done the Peru thing, anyone know where I can get a Ferrari for under two grand? Can I even insure one for under two grand?
