What I have found that is that while I have more money, I desire stuff less and less. I have enough toys that should last me a while. Anymore and I run out of place to keep them. And many of the new electronic toys and gadgets do not interest me at all.
We have also become fastidious. When eating out, we often noted how something was not to our liking, that we could have done the same dish better at home because we enjoy cooking. We become harder to please as we age.
Of course if we went to higher-tiered restaurants, the experience would be different, but we are not rich to do that too often, plus doing that more often then it becomes old-hat and the joy is diminished.
My sentiments exactly.
