Quotes to ponder:

"Will I feel better knowing this money is there, in the bank, available at need in the future, or will I feel better knowing I’ve spent it, the money lost to me forever, on this thing?"

"If you can find your happiness internally, your satisfaction with life derived from how you experience the world, not in the experiences themselves, then your quality of life is determined by you, not some external factor."
