He’s worth 8 figures, owns a private jet, and still tracks every dollar. Nick Huber says avoiding lifestyle creep is harder, and more important, than getting rich.

Here’s what we talk about:

• How Nick Huber built an 8-figure net worth from sweaty startups and smart real estate plays.
• Why he keeps over $2M liquid and doesn’t touch stocks.
• His exact monthly burn (yes, including the jet) and how he keeps it under $25K.
• The psychology behind lifestyle creep, and why he’s borderline paranoid about fixed costs.
• Why he’d rather live modestly than risk losing what he’s built.
• The emotional rollercoaster of lumpy cash flow, $900K tax bills, and late-night financial dread.
• How he justifies buying a private jet.
• His next goal: $1M/month in personal profit, and why he's not trying to be a media mogul along the way.
