On spend assumptions: a lot is wealth signaling. A Hamptons house is a work-week-bound wage-slave classic. Harder to signal but the ultimate status (and real consequence, we are hurtling to death, hours ticking away) is not working. Not possible for most so less discussed

If you were on your deathbed, how much would you pay to save 2 hrs a day in commute = 480hrs/yr ex-vacay = 60 8hr workdays = ~2-3 months of pay? Spend up to that amount on real estate to be closer to work. You are actively dying, every minute is precious and to be savored.

I have traversed the landscape of alternative lifestyles and value sets only to realize the revealed preference choice is almost always normie-seeking

I would like to drop out and be a full time mystic, but every time I have some mystic-gnostic revelation it's like "akshully, you should get married, have kids and be a lawyer."

I respectfully disagree. Agree on no intrinsic meaning, but I’ve strong conviction our brains evolved to feel deeper meaning from tribalism/exercise/etc. Cooking/food can be deeply primal. Maybe you’re built different, but prob not. Execute normie actions ruthlessly and vibe out

In fact most activities in life aren't really that intrinsically meaningful. Does cooking have any intrinsic meaning? Or maths? Or arts, or science? Sure it's more practical, but it still requires *me* to ascribe meaning to them

There is simply not enough time. I have even considered hiring an offshore personal assistant to help with family matters. Would also say the reply on stay at home wife being an advantage I think is wrong. Dual income lets you take more risk

This is the mental model I’ve been looking for. I know a lot of folks that want to signal “quiet luxury” but their personal finances are a mess, and they don’t want to spend time discussing actual praxis, like what’s going on in macro or how to charge expenses to an S Corp

@dieworkwear It’s a cargo cult. The belief is that wearing expensive-looking clothes will imbue you with money. Sometimes that’s about infiltrating upper-class spaces (good luck). Sometimes it’s more supernatural.

As a fins guy, fundamentals have always mattered, we’re just not in a bubble anymore Trading a stock is different from having a view on fair value which can differ for a decade - doesn’t change the view, eg you should know when equity risk premium is off from history and why

See many L/S pros tweeting in despair & I get it. Pain threshold for equity investors is low. Just 18 months of no visibility in mgmt forecasts...to now confidently projecting 3-5 years out again, which in most cases makes no sense. Fundamentals don't matter anymore.

I’ve had the problem of NOT spending, and I think it boils down to the actual purpose. One heuristic I love is “if you couldn’t show anyone what you bought, would you still buy it for the functionality alone” I now yolo money at time-savers, pre-cut broccoli to biz class redeye

In my mind the game becomes about the compounded effect of time saved. Working smarter. Networking strategically. Living in the city, cutting commute. Having extended family visit. Hiring help. 80/20 on decisions on spending money. Entirely focused on execution and not signaling

my experience of living in new york is that of moving through a space of difference, finding myself at specific locations for specific reasons and recalling personal memories feels uncanny when this clashes with the surface NYC of taxis, movies, etc which is also what most know

In a similar vein I suspect people who are really into dogs and not into people are simply those who want a being to control and be given easy attention, they don’t want to achieve true understanding of another human

I host a lot of dinner parties now, and while they are greatly enjoyable, there’s something I will always cherish about the hours after high school when me and the boys would stand on the sidewalk and shoot the shit while splitting $1 chesters fries and $1 Arizona iced tea
