有什么事情是你變得更有錢之后才明白的？

They probably see it as, I endlessly sacrificed so that you could have a better life, and you now are being so selfish and treat me like dirt?

To me this is bizarre. Doing the best for your child without expecting to be paid back with interest is the baseline expectation - otherwise don't have kids and save your money.

No one ever gets to the point where they never have to care about money and can just spend with reckless abandon. But the amount you can spend without caring goes up. It's about 1000:1 If you have $10,000 in the bank, you can spend $10 without really caring, but $100 still makes you worry. With $100,000, you could buy a $100 item without worrying about the cost. And so on.

不會有人富有到可以完全把錢拋在腦后，想怎么花就怎么花。但你花起來不需要過腦子的量確實(shí)是會不斷增加的。比例大概是1000:1，所以假如你有10000美元的存款，那么你花10美元就不用在乎，但100美元還是會讓你擔(dān)心。有了100000美元，那么你買一件100美元的東西就不用在乎價格。以此類推。

I had an argument with someone recently who was extremely pissed that I'm going on vacation but not going to do it on a tight budget. I said that I was just going to set aside some money that will be more than enough and just say "fuck it" and not care about expenses as I know they won't go beyond that amount of money no matter what I do.

Disney is where my vacation is going to be (as long as covid is under control). I get a bonus of around $10k or so at the end of the year. I'm going to Disney for 5-6 days.

This made my friend hit the roof telling me that if I play my cards right I can do Disney for $2k or even less and that they'd help me do it.

You've been arguing with my mother, I see. She has that Great Depression mindset, and is very financially fearful. Me taking vacation time (which is paid) just sends her up the wall, because in her mind I should work myself to death the way she has her entire life.

I wouldn’t consider “go out and network” to be the luck part of the equation. That’s the work part. Luck would be having one of those people you talk to have a confluence of “near right enough” events where it ends up that you get a good break.

That's what they're talking about though. In that example they're "creating more luck" by networking and creating more chances of getting lucky. The lucky break itself might never happen, but it definitely won't happen to the person who hasn't made those connections. Maybe it's more correct to say they're "creating more opportunities for luck" but the phrase "creating more luck" is a lot more catchy.

I was fortunate enough to land a career quickly out of college that allowed me to pay off my student loans within 5 years of graduating, and as I crossed into my 30s, I started making over 2X what my parents' combined income ever was.

I realized more once I lost my wealth. I realized that my happiness was not related to all of the material obxts I had collected. I was obsessed with my watch collection and could afford more drugs. Somehow these things became more important than my beautiful family. I lost everything. Wife and kids gone, money gone, career gone. I was in such a dark hole for a long time. I’ve been sober for 6 months now and slowly things became more clear. I was able to help people again through my passion, photography. I’ve been working on a project to shine some light on addicts and homeless in Chicago. Helping others and being proud of my work has been a lifesaver. My sons are still not back in my life but besides that, all of the pain was worth it. I’ve never had inner peace before. It’s priceless and all of the money in the world can’t buy it.

我在失去了自己財產(chǎn)之后明白了更多。我意識到我的幸福和我曾經(jīng)收藏過的一切物質(zhì)財富都毫無關(guān)聯(lián)。我曾經(jīng)沉迷于我的腕表收藏，也買得起更多的毒品。漸漸地，這些東西開始變得比我的家人更重要了。突然我失去了一切。妻子和孩子沒了，錢沒了，職業(yè)生涯也沒了。我在這個黑暗的深淵中呆了很久。我戒了六個月的酒，然后我要做的事情逐漸變得清晰。通過我熱愛的攝影，我開始再度幫助他人。我在芝加哥進(jìn)行一個將癮君子和流浪漢帶到大眾視野中的項(xiàng)目。幫助他人并為我的工作感到自豪成為了我的救命稻草。我的兒子們還沒有回到我的人生中，但除此之外，我經(jīng)受的一切痛苦都是值得的。我之前從沒與自己達(dá)成過和解。這是無價的，并且全世界的金錢都買不到。

That inflation keeps taking my goals farther away even though I've saved so much. I got all excited lately because I'd reached my savings goal I set in 2017 for how much I wanted to put aside before I looked into buying my first house. I looked at how ridiculously much housing prices in my area have gone up in recent years especially after the pandemic recently and I'm still far away unless I wanna just put about 5% down. I think I'll just do that in like a year's time anyway, but it's really disheartening to think if I'd just been born a couple years earlier how much easier everything would be. It seems like everything inflates out of reach just before my life gets there.

Money can't buy happiness in all facets of life but definitely facilitates the pursuit of it in many.

在人生的任何方面，金錢都買不到幸福，但它絕對能幫助你追求幸福。

For example, money can't buy you a happy/healthy relationship. Some of the richest people I know have the worst relationships and some of the least well off have the strongest, best ones. So money can't buy you this happiness. But if you're poor and working two jobs to make ends meet, it's a lot harder to go looking for love, both because of time and budget, so money can facilitate the pursuit.

比如，金錢不能給你買來幸福健康的關(guān)系。我認(rèn)識的有錢人有非常糟糕的人際關(guān)系，而很多最窮的人卻有最好，最穩(wěn)定的關(guān)系。所以金錢不能給你買來幸福。但假如你沒錢，要打兩份工讓收支相抵，那尋找愛情就困難很多，因?yàn)闀r間和金錢都不允許，所以金錢是可以給你的追求帶來幫助的

In a similar vein, with hobbies, some people I know will buy a ton of gear now that they can afford it, but that doesn't fulfill them. On the other hand, I sure am happier wrenching on a car that I can pay for modifications on that just dreaming about it. So again, money can't buy you happiness, but having money sure as hell is better than not having any.

類似地，在興趣方面，我認(rèn)識一些人會買一堆好東西，因?yàn)樗麄冑I得起，但這不能讓他們覺得充實(shí)。另一方面，我一邊硬造自己的小破車，一邊幻想自己可以買各種改裝，我確實(shí)更開心。所以還是那句話，金錢買不了幸福，但有錢確實(shí)比沒錢好太多了。

沒錯，這一點(diǎn)很對。說一下背景：我不是百萬富翁，但我掙的錢是當(dāng)?shù)丶彝ナ杖胫形粩?shù)的兩倍。

When I was in college, and just out of college, I would definitely look for all the specials, consider the shelf tags, do the math on how to keep a shop under a certain dollar limit, pump gas to a certain dollar limit etc.

當(dāng)我在上大學(xué)的時候，以及剛剛大學(xué)畢業(yè)的時候，我絕對會尋找各種忒啊活動，考慮貨架上的價簽，仔細(xì)計算怎么在一定額度之內(nèi)消費(fèi)，加一定額度的油，等等。

Now, I just grab what I want at the grocery store and fill my gas tank up every time.

現(xiàn)在我每次去超市都要買什么就拿什么，每次都把油箱直接加滿。

There's a strong argument to be made that I should still be practicing the same habits as before, but to your point, it really is freeing not to go into a grocery store and have to sweat your cart total.

讓我保持之前的消費(fèi)習(xí)慣確實(shí)是非常有道理的，但和你的想法相同，逛一趟超市之后不會被購物車總價格嚇到出汗真的很令人解脫。
