Yes. The more ‘stuff’ you have the more time, money, effort and thought is required to maintain it.
So, honestly, keep maintenance of physical assets to a minimum, opportunity for relationship building as broad as possible, and separate your secure capital necessary to preserve it, from your invsetment capital that you can ‘afford to lose’.
We are all different in what we prefer to occupy our minds. I prefer to occupy my mind with things under my control. Some people prefer the opposite but this is the stimulation from gambling not investing. If that is what entertainsyou that’s great – but it’s entertainment and that’s all.
The “Millionaire Mind” is still the best book on living with wealth.

I miss my Ferrari. Everything else, constant travel, constant meetings, maintaining multiple businesses, homes autos etc, combined with the stress of running 100M run rate companies – I don’t. 😉

That said I am fundamentally an intellectual and living a simple life working on my intellectual projects is much more rewarding.
A simple home, a nice wardrobe, some toys (in my case computers), some ejoyable work, good friends, and it really doesn’t get any better. 😉

But to each his own.
