Malani believes that it’s possible to both spend money on experiences while you’re young and simultaneously prioritize the future financial you.
“If you want to balance experiences while pursuing long-term financial goals like retirement or buying a house, then balance it,” she says. “Dedicate some money to each, even if that means a domestic vacation instead of an international one. If you want to be able to do both, make sacrifices to both so that you can achieve that balance without over-stretching.”
