I often think about the law of diminishing returns. My finances had a few inflection points that improved my life tremendously:
- Left the violent neighborhood I grew up at
- Was able to eat real food every day
- Started being able to save money
- Stopped using public transport
- Got a place for myself
- Got a job with great work life balance
Now, every extra cash I make improves my peace of mind, as my biggest fear is being poor again. I don't think any extra luxury will ever make me happier than the points I outlined above did.
