Today I ordered this full extras Mercedes-AMG GLC 43 4MATIC Coupe 2024. I'll have to wait 6 months to get it, though. The good thing is that by then Bitcoin price will be much higher and the lease payments besides my salary part, will cost me less in terms of my stash. My realistic hopes are for the price to be such that it will be below 4% of my stash. I still can't believe how my desicions to start accumulating and hodling in 2016-2017 are bringing me such change and joy now. New town, new home, new job, new car and with the crossing of 100K possibly even a big house and a villa. Besides, I have a fulfilling lifestyle in a town with many culture events, restaurants and hospitals. I'm very happy!
They say that happiness correlates with income, BUT only to a certain level, which in US is/was, apparently, $94K/year.
Another recent study disputes that and suggests that happiness continues to increase even afterwards..at least to a few mil.
Do I think that Zuck (with his tens of billions) is MORE happy than an average guy with $100mil?...I don't think so.
Personally, i think that somewhere at $30-100 mil (UHNW), happiness probably reaches a plateau probably because even with 2% spend/year (50% less than considered "safe"), you have a "budget" of 600K-2mil/year, which allows for everything, but the most outrageous spend patterns:at $2mil, you can buy another stupendous villa in cash every other year, lol.
