What do people with thousands of dollars of spending money do with their money?

I mean people who just have thousands to blow at any given time without having to budget. Thousands just sitting in their accounts not for anything specific. People that aren’t even millionaires but they always have thousands of spending. What do they spend their money on once they reach the point of having thousands just do whatever with?
if you ain't got no money, this is about to be a real short conversation, you dig?

Invest or let it snowball until a good investment opportunity comes by.

Occasional vacation or nice purchase.

Rich ppls' life isn't all that different from normie life.

They have a better house, car(many drive beaters), food(many don't splurge actually), and maybe some toys. Actually many don't even have toys.

The biggest mogger difference is they have a better career with low day-to-day stress.

Mainly just enjoying alot less stress. Money is the perfect tool to lower stress because there aren't very many situations where you feel panicked as if it were an emergency. Say your AC broke, well its 10k to replace. You can just write the check and not have to worry about if you're going to be able to get a loan with a 10-20% interest rate to finance it since you only have 400$ to your name. There is also less stress when shopping, mainly the grocery store. I typically get whatever I want regardless if it is on sale, before I used to always buy what was on sale and the house brand name of everything I could.

Spending money is fun for a while, but eventually money doesn't control you. You just kinda do whatever makes you happy.

Yes, I buy a new iPhone every 2 years. Yes, I travel for 2 months every year. But I don't own a primary residence, because I don't give a fuk about owning a primary residence.

I mostly just like hustling and creating things.

I'm not rich by any means, but I have zero debt and about 60k of "savings". I only have about 10k in my actual checking/savings though. I have some cash, gold and silver, and the rest in a roth ira I can pull from. Car I bought in cash.

I don't spend much money on stuff at all tbh. I spend it on high quality organic whole foods that I cook. I did just splurge and buy 3 flannels from patagonia that I found deals on. Went on a vacation to Utah in May. Otherwise just things I need or want on the daily/weekly/monthly.

I like to buy stuff but not waste money.

pretty much convinced that if i want something its really justy to cure some boredom. knowing that i can buy cheaper stuff and get the same feeling i would get if I bought something more expensive.

$20 for me is fine seeing as I most likely dont need the stuff anyway.

Watches.

Some comedian said that a Pepsi addiction is God's way of telling you that you have too much money. I'm convinced that buying multiple $1000+ watches is the same kind of deal.

Many people on high incomes choose to consume that income as increased leisure time

Best part of it is, if I choose to spend an hour with my son instead of working, that can’t be taxed (yet)

Save for retirement if their smart. Shoes and handbags if their women.
