    Yep, likewise a lot of rich people die having done very little meaningful, valuable, or good with their money.

    There are rich people that own homes with rooms bigger than my house.

      An interesting insight I learned from a YouTuber who binged a TV show that toured mansions, most of those enormous houses come with one normal-size room. That room is where the residents spend the majority of their time. Often, it’s a kitchen. Sometimes, it’s a “small” smoking room or even just an especially cozy corner of an oversized living room.

    They say being rich just buys you space.

    You’ll never be in a restaurant with tables that are too close together

    You’ll never be on an aeroplane with the seats too close together

    You’ll never have a cluttered house

    Your seats at the theatre are a box

    Etc etc

    Basically, money keeps you away from other people

    Definitely recognizes the hoarding difference. When you’re poor, you have a thing, and don’t know if you’ll ever find another one under the cheap circumstances you got it, so you keep it, even without much space.

    When you’re rich, you know you can obtain the item you need on demand for money. Or, say, if it’s a tool, you can hire contractors that bring their own.
