TIME - Priceless!!
I love bending a motorcycle through curvy canyon roads.
But you have to buy the motorcycle first.
I love the solitude of fishing in the delta and I love the taste of fish that lived the day I ate them.
But you need to buy the boat first.
Yeah, I love the experiences!
Kudos! Nice post! Great experiences
Very good article OP, we all may have our different take on it but overall Time is priceless imo. Paid Lawn service / house keeping service too. Paid plumber recently / I don’t do it myself anymore.
I’m of the thought continue to enjoy the fruits of my labor ok if I can pay others use my time not work. Love giving of time to others in various ways
includes loved ones and strangers. Also enjoyed being an exchange student parent a few years.
Definitely still enjoy things that are cost free like watching the sunset today in SoCal but did pay for a hotel stay at the Ritz on the Pacific Ocean. I like some unnecessary upgrades I’ll call them. Had cars that were from point to point but I enjoy Luxury now!
I like living in our modern era -1901? This is 2021!
Technology has been great! Zoom anyone? Text /email overseas to exchange family (Thailand) (Japan). Travelled
south east Asia experience.
I’ve been to Cuba, quite an experience. Cultural experiences in humanities. Money is used as tool.
Many here (ER) not all, have extensive travel plans all been put on Covid hold- bet lots of money will be spent on postponed “experiences”
Things money can buy can’t satisfy happiness you have to find that beyond material things, but now that I can afford nicer things? I do! Money is a great tool, I use a lot of mine to Live Large! Few nice cars I love to drive, sport bike & cruiser like the feel in the wind - fishing was my Pop favorite past-time love it!
I’ve not bought a boat but if you have? Enjoy!
Post Covid - traveling the
again lots of places to go and immerse in different “experiences” oh I’ll need to spend lots of money to do it, happy to have good health Er’d@50 4yrs ago got TIME! Just keep LIVIN- we know we get 1 day at a time. 50% more discretionary income? Upgrade, why not?
Ever own a horse or care for an expensive pet?
I’m willing to think if you’re on this site? You’ve gone beyond the basics not to wo*k anymore or you are on your way to ER. Money plays big roll to F’I.
Don’t fool yourself, I’m Happier not having to work!
55-75 I’d like to spend all that I saved past 30yrs on experiences, that includes lots of sharing w/others.
Besides the article said BMW - I drive Mercedes
it drives a little different than my F150. I like the experience-
