(from elsewhere)

( Getting rich provides evidence of ability, and gives you freedom from the company of unnecessary idiocy, but it doesn’t necessarily make you happy. Owning your own home in a neighborhood that you don’t worry about, having at least a year’s salary in the bank, and not stressing about anything, is about as good as it gets. Personally I prefer to own nothing other than a car, a safety deposit box, a foreign bank account, and my time. ‘stuff’ isn’t good for anything.)

My opinion at this stage of my life is that you should limit your expenses, particularly debt, and maximize your friends, family, and experiences.
