I’m a firm believer that there is no such thing as too much money. The only thing that you should ever put any amount of money into is your pocket. If you want a raise, do it. If you want a vacation, do it. If you want to buy a car, do it. If you want to get your butt into the best shape of your life, do it. There is no such thing as too much money.
The reality is that I don’t know of any situation where putting a lot of money in your pocket would be a bad thing, and there are a lot of situations where I would argue that you shouldn’t put any money into your pocket. But since I’ve been blessed enough to spend a lot of money with my family, I’m going to tell you what I did last year.
For the past two years, I have put more than $700 into my bank account. I bought a house, a new car, a trip to New Zealand, and even bought a new watch. A few months ago, I was talking with my wife about how I was feeling a little more than normal. We argued and then I told her that I was going to spend some money because I had to.
I was right. I got a raise at work. And I went to a big fancy dinner at a fancy restaurant. And I even ordered two bottles of white wine, one for myself, and one for my wife. I went to a movie with the kids and I even bought a new pair of shoes. I spent more than 700 dollars on stuff, and I thought I was pretty good at it too.
I didn’t realize I was going to this dinner. But my wife says I’m a pretty good person. I didn’t know I was going to dinner either. It’s like I’ve been talking to her and she’s talking about how much I can spend on my wife’s name. She just happens to be a little bit surprised that I’m doing this. She says I’ve had enough of my life and I’ve just spent it all on this food.
It’s good to be careful with money. One of the most dangerous things you can do is to spend too much of it. A friend of mine spent about $75,000 in one month on his first house. After a year of living with his parents he had a big, stupid, big, huge headache. He had to go to the emergency room one day and they told him the nurse said he shouldnt be doing that.
It was very cool to spend money on a house. Not only did Im be able to have a much better life than Ive had, there was another great piece of advice a friend of mine received from a couple of the people Ive met on the street. The first one Ive met was from a guy who was like a kid from a different town, he told me he had a house built with a few things that had to do with food.
Ive been to lots of houses in my life, and Ive always been the one who has to pay for the food. Ive also seen many mansions and have no idea how much they cost. I was impressed to see a few mansions built with a few things that were like “free”. It was refreshing to see that a few things were built with no charge or even a small charge.
I’d like to see more than just free stuff. I’d like to see houses that aren’t built to make money, or houses that have to do with food. I’d like to see houses that are free because they’re built for people in the area and not for a profit, or houses that have to do with food because of the food that we eat.
