Hello, this is James Mayer, Branch Manager, from the Huffman Mayer Paolo Wealth Management Group of Wells Fargo Advisors. 

The world gets us to believe that buying things will bring us happiness.

It turns out, unnecessary plastic items don’t buy happiness.

But memorable experiences do, especially when shared with the people you love.

Something as simple as standing next to a lake skipping stones with your eight-year-old child will be far more memorable—for both of you—than some purchase that will end up in a garage sale two or three years from now.

I hate the idea of having garage sales, so this is another benefit.

You know this. I’m not telling you anything new.

But a little reminder never hurts.

So go ahead, cross something off the life list.

Be spontaneous once in a while.

Go do something you’ll never forget with someone you love.

You won’t regret it.

A great source of happiness comes from memorable experiences with the people you love most.

We always want to talk with you.  If you feel you know someone who would enjoy this video please feel free to send them the link.

As always stay happy, safe, and healthy and hopefully we will see you very soon.
