Experiences Are a Better Investment

All the gear in the world won't take interesting photos if you don't get out and use it. Instead of spending money on the newest camera body or another lens, spend that money on a trip somewhere special and photograph that, or hire a great model to do a creative shoot you've always wanted to shoot. A trip to an amazing location will not only provide you with interesting shooting opportunities, it will give you great life experiences to remember, and that will always bring more joy than anything materialistic. With online services like Kayak, Uber, and Airbnb, you can plan a memorable trip for a fraction of the cost of a new piece of gear.
