I just can’t throw away a bottle of soap, shampoo, etc., without getting a couple more uses adding a little hot water to the “empty” bottle.
Another thing that almost annoys myself, we got a solar system a year ago. I find myself checking the generation, output, storage and putting my Tesla on the charger only when there’s bright sun and the battery is well charged.
Meanwhile, my portfolio often fluctuates a larger amount in a week than I made in a year when I worked.
I find myself thinking, why am I thinking about this stuff? I’ve got enough to not have to sweat this. Relax. Enjoy. But old habits die hard.
At the risk of jinxing it, I am sharing that my stash increases by a 7-figure in the last 12 months, and it does not make me more wasteful.
Waste is bad. Waste is a sin.
Having more money changes one thing: it has allowed me to be more generous with my gifts and donations.
