NBecause if you are cheap, then you will get by on less money.
It is infinitely easier to cultivate a disposition where you are happy
with less consumation and less materialism than it is to become so
rich you can buy whatever you want at all times. Rich people aren't
even happier than non rich people. Lets say you were suddently
worth 10 million dollars. You'd go buy a big mansion,
several sport cars, have some fun investing some chit,
go blow cash on hookers and coke etc. How long would
this satisfy your frontal cortex? Maybe a month, maybe 6 months
- at some point, however, that new Porsche wouldn't really be all that interesting.
The mansion is nice but its not giving you dopamin boosts on the daily after some time has passed.
You're back to square one.

The key is to have enough money
so that you do not worry about financial issues
and doing what you want.
The way to achieve that is having
reasonable goals and requirements.
There is no happiness in mindlessly
consuming garbage products.

Let me know when you actually have American money and not that chitty AUD

Just bought new decals for my bobcat and they shipped from Australia, was 108 AUD and came out to like $68 American jfl
