I am free yet priceless, you can't own me but you can use me, you can't keep me but you can spend me. Once you lost me you can never have me back. What am I?
Common Wrong Answers
“Money”
Money is considered valuable and can be owned, saved, and spent, which contradicts the notion of being priceless and unownable.
“Love”
While love can be seen as priceless and something that can't be owned, it can be felt and shared, and the concept of losing love doesn't align perfectly with the idea of never getting it back.
“Knowledge”
Knowledge can be gained and lost, but it can also be owned in a sense (through books, education, etc.), which does not fit the riddle's description of being unownable.
