in/for

It's all about gaining more experience in/for life.

I know both can be used, but each represents a different meaning.

Could someone please explain it to me?

Thanks!

Aspara GusFor sounds strange there.
I think what I'm trying to say is: Gain experience for your life so you get better at living it. Or something along the lines of that.

I'm saying this to my friend who stays at home and does nothing but play video games.

Could explain to me why it sounds strange? Is it because for doesn't go well with life?

Why can you say:

Gain experience for a better life. And not

Gain experience for life.

Thank you!
