The idea with "buy experiences, not things" is that things often come with upkeep costs, even if it is just a spot to store them. A knife needs cleaning and sharpening, a mattress takes a lot of space, needs clean sheets, etc... And your examples are somewhat biased in that they are things you need anyways. You can't really live without a mattress and some kind of knife. The question is more about what to do with your disposable income. Do you buy a thing you don't really need or an experience you don't really need. The reason to favor experiences it that they don't come with upkeep costs. |

On the flip side, I regularly sell the things I don't need anymore. I can't sell my experiences, can I?
The other thing you appear to be missing is that there are few experiences you really need, while there are many things you really need, so any comparison of expenses to things is going to be comparing an unnecessary experience to a necessary thing.
