brazil Posted April 28, 2022 Posted April 28, 2022 Congrats sis, I've got there around the same age. I will say though that the more you make the more expensive your lifestyle seems to get. Like you'll move in to a better apartment, buy more expensive decor, go to more expensive parties, it seems like the system is made for you to always want more. At least you seem to have relocated to Texas where I guess things are cheaper, in major cities it seems like the sky is the limit as to how much you can make and spend

I'm not even close to being rich and feel the effects of wanting more. I have a 3 bedroom house and live alone, yet I was recently looking at nicer houses and I had to consciously stop myself and go "You live alone in a 3 bedroom house in a great neighborhood. Stop being greedy" The more you make, the more you want to spend, and then more you need to make to sustain the lifestyle
