Bill Gates and Warren Buffet have the same definition of success, and it has nothing to do with wealth.

Though Bill Gates and Warren Buffettare worth $86.4 billion and $76.8 billion respectively, the two friends have the same definition of success, and it's one that has nothing to do with wealth.

In a Reddit Ask Me Anything session on Monday, Gates replies to the question, "What is your idea of success?" by citing his friend: "Warren Buffett has always said the measure is whether the people close to you are happy and love you."

Luxury is an addictive drug

The frugal blogger Mr. Money Mustache tells us that luxury is weakness. Luxury is an addictive drug. Until we understand this, it has the power to ruin our lives.

I remember driving my brand new luxury sports car and noticing that my identity was becoming tied up with the car. I realized that this super-expensive car would wear out and then I would need to buy another one. To keep my identity, I would need to keep generating a lot of money. It was like having a drug habit. The car didn't make me feel that good, but the idea of not having the car felt lame. So I realized that I would need to keep having that fix to feel normal.

This process of getting the drug to get back to normal is a common experience for drug addicts. Also, tolerance to the drug increases with abuse over time. An amount of the drug that was once satisfying starts to not have the desired effect. We find that we need more and more of the substance or experience to get back to normal.

The problem is that, as the U2 lyric goes, "You can never get enough of what you don't really need." Once you have the Porsche Cayenne Turbo, you start wishing for a Bentley Bentayga. The more luxury you have, the more luxury you need, but luxury never really satisfies the itch that it promises to scratch.

Luxury makes us feel successful, that we are winning at the game of life, that we are not only surviving, but thriving. Like an opioid in our brains, luxury locks into our survival receptors. The irony is that purchasing luxury, and being dependent on it for our sense of self and wellbeing, leads to us depleting the very resources that we actually need for survival.

It turns out that having the discipline to live frugally, to invest rather than spend, to mend and make do, and to be able to live for longer and longer periods of time without having to work, are true measures of wealth. Deeply enjoying whatever it is you're experiencing right now is the ultimate wealth.

The people who are on the nine-to-five treadmill, working to pay for luxury cars to drive for two hours per day to and from work, are really on a luxury treadmill. These people are addicted to luxury.

Being wealthy is a full-time job

There's a foolish impression that once you have a lot of money, you can kick back and relax. To some degree this is true. You can have more choice, and you can buffer situations in your life to some degree. However, once you have assets you have to manage them, protect them, and maintain them. You need to worry about being sued, so you need insurance. You need to hire people to do stuff for you, and you need to manage them. Delegation is really hard.

If you're not careful, you will make your life more complex, with more things, and more activities. Perhaps you will use spending money and buying things as a cheap way of avoiding self-awareness. Perhaps you will become obsessed with hoarding your money and maximizing its growth.

Some people become very suspicious of other people, not trusting that they really have friends, thinking that others are trying to get at their wealth. Even with the best intentions, others will seek funding and support from you. They want you to invest in their businesses and projects. They want to borrow money. All of this is a massive strain on your ability to be aware of your boundaries, and avoid being co-dependent or enabling.

It's really challenging being wealthy. Approach with caution.

Money is good but when you become a slave to money that's when it becomes bad.

ameri9ja:


But that's the thing

1) You can't have lots of money without showing it off, unless everybody knows u have it.
2) You can't have lots of money without society forcing u into trying to maintain having it.
Those two things make u a slave to it.

Bro I disagree with Point 1. There are some Billonaires that don't show off. Mark Zuckerberg (Facebook founder) for example. He wears the same clothes for like 5 days in a row, he drives a miserable $30,000 car. I can give you other examples.

Rich people do the opposite because they don’t want you to ask them for money, don’t want you to sue them, and don’t want to be taken advantage of. They want to be generous on their own terms and they want to be treated the same way as anyone else.

Truly rich people don’t have anything to prove. And if they do feel like they have something to prove it’s probably not to you or me. It’s to people they care about.

there are eccentric millioniares around who dont necessarily show off their wealth.bill gates is an example.

U pretend not to see the other part of what I said: UNLESS PEOPLE ALREADY KNOW THEY HAVE IT.
It is simply not human nature to accomplish something and hide the accomplishment. Let's say u come first in your class - you'll tell it to everyone including total strangers.
