“Money is a magnifier. It just makes you more of what you really are.”
– Bob Proctor
When I get a large chunk of cash, I spend more on my health and well-being, donate anonymously, save/invest, travel, and buy services that free up time. My spending is focused on increasing my quality of life, giving, and growing my net worth so I can do more of the first two things!
What would you do with an extra $1 million dollars? Buy Louis Vuitton purses? Buy a Porsche? Rent or buy a yacht? Donate to charity? Invest? Give to your family? . . .
More practically, what will you do with money from your next raise or bonus? How you spend the extra money reflects your values. What does your spending say about you?
