I have been around this world for a couple of years. 56 to be precise. My perspective has changed many times along the way. Mostly for the better but there have been times that it has gone the other way.
There are always discussions around about "millionaire perspectives" and such. There are also constant posts about wanting to be mega-rich. Along with this, there are lots of people stating what they want to do with their massive cash once they have earned it.
Well, your perspectives will likely change also as you gain net-worth.
Everyone has things that they enjoy doing. Many people have a number of dreams that they want to enjoy.
There was a time in life where I had a decent job, three kids, and a very family oriented life style. I owned a motorhome, quads, dirtbikes, built up Ford Broncos, etc. We loved to camp at the beach and in the desert in our motorhome. We would travel up the west coast and take trips through the mountains. It was a wonderful life visiting wineries, sitting around campfires, etc.
Along with this I enjoyed running, softball and coaching every one of my kids through all their sports.
I am still very active hiking, running, playing softball, exploring, etc. There is nothing I would rather do than take the challenge of conquering Mt Whitney or tearing through the Grand Canyon. Grand Canyon Story Here .
I feel that most of my fun has been centered around excitement, relaxation, and challenges. The funny thing is that at some points I have had tons of money and other times, very little. There is no difference in how much fun you can have.
I know that many will argue that massive money will allow you to buy all that fun. Maybe it will for some people but not for me.
I took a trip to Europe with a large budget and little concern for money. We spent 300 euros on LUNCH in Paris, stayed in "high class" hotels, toured the Italian coast on a small cruise ship. It was not any more fun than a trip around the mountains in a 30 foot motorhome to me.
I am not saying that you should not work to become wealthy. You should. We live in a world of abundance. We should be going and getting what we want and desire.
I am saying that life can and should be enjoyed regardless of your status. Don't keep looking for the future to enjoy yourself. Pay attention to what you have now. That is what I am going to do.
