I recently took a gamble in the market with roughly $100K and managed to turn it into around $600K. Combined with my savings, I'm sitting at about $980K, plus some (small but profitable) properties and enough on top of that to cover my expenses for the next three years. I drive one of those super nice cars now; the kind I used to freak out over when I saw them on the road as a kid. But the weird thing is, now that I have it, nobody around me really cares because they're all doing just as well, if not better. It's made me realize how much I miss that feeling of excitement and appreciation for the little things.
I'm thinking about picking up a job where money isn't the main focus, something like teaching at a high school or working at a small, family-owned shop. Or even McDonald's lmfao. I want to be surrounded by people who see life the way I used to, when saving $20K a year felt like hitting it big. I feel like it would get me to reconnect with that simpler mindset and let me experience some of that excitement again, like when people freak out over my car the way I used to.
I'm in my mid-twenties, so I don't think I'd feel too out of place. Has anyone here ever done something like this? Did it bring you the perspective you were hoping for? Would love to hear anyones thoughts! Thanks for reading

/u/goatlmao Ignoring the obvious cuckoldry of caring about what poor people think, you can rent a Bugatti Veyron for a day for like $2000-$5000 - the type of poor who would be impressed by someone having a nice car in the past will now blow their monthly check or take out a loan for that now.
