If you want to make a large discretionary upgrade purchase (e.g. upgrading a perfectly working phone, watch, car, etc.), instead spend a much smaller amount of money changing something about its appearance or interface. You’ll get a similar dopamine hit to buying a brand new whatever. 

I replaced my Apple Watch band and screen protector this morning and it feels like a brand new watch in my head despite just these small things changing. Similar examples might include getting a new phone case and wallpaper for your phone, or upgrading the radio in your old car.

access to opportunity is expanding rapidly across the globe

today i likely don’t need to live in the usa - my home country - to maximize my opportunity, 5 yrs ago i don’t think i would have said the same

not only do i believe i have equal or close to equal opportunity living in many other countries, ironically i feel i may have more opportunity bc

1. the cost of living is drastically less in most places relative to even mid/small tier us cities, freeing up capital to invest in opportunities

2. many countries are on steep upward trajectories, by experiencing various places firsthand not only does it help create global mindset, it likely also provides more ability to discover and capture outsized opportunities

all of this said, i still believe there is tremendous upside and opportunity for ppl in the states too, especially those who take a global mindset - many are already doing this

overall, i see all of the above as positive sum 🌱

if you don't know, the answer is most likely no.
