1.20.25: Financial Priorities

Trying to prioritize expenses—like a visa for Thailand versus re-doing my walk-in closet—is frustrating. I get the appeal of being rich, of doing whatever you want without a second thought. But there’s also something satisfying about working hard toward a financial goal and finally being able to afford it, whether it’s a necessity or not. It feels earned in a way that unlimited wealth might not. Not to say billionaires didn’t earn their fortunes, but at that level, nothing is truly off-limits. Personally, I’d settle for a happy middle ground. A few hundred million should be more than enough.
