“Maybe this is why I’ve always been skeptical of both rich people who only like expensive things and poor people who detest all forms of luxury. Money will always come and go. I just hope I don’t wash away with it.”
love your perspective on doing the things that make you come alive regardless of financial circumstance - there’s always a way. for the things that really matter, it’s not worth the someday maybe
"I never want to be in a position where my identity wavers with fragility depending on how much money I have. I don’t want to be the guy who gets rich and then suddenly becomes a watch connoisseur. The opposite is true. If I were to lose all my money, I wouldn’t want my interests to change. Maybe this is why I’ve always been skeptical of both rich people who only like expensive things and poor people who detest all forms of luxury."
Really enjoyed this one as I've also intentionally put myself in a similar position — though I swap the snow for a beach and the skis for a volleyball.
