Move out of the luxury apartment and into a townhome and you’ll feel pretty rich.
You won’t be competing with the guy upstairs who takes a helicopter to work while his wife takes the Bugatti downtown to shop at the high-end shops all day.
They say that once your basic bills are paid, more money doesn’t make you happier. Maybe that’s because of this treadmill effect where a person makes money, they move to a higher-end neighborhood and become poor again.
As you make more, you expand the vacuous space which you fill with money. It’s the vicious cycle of materialism worked out into the flesh.
