Honestly I don't think that works on long term. The amount of money you make will soon become your new normal, but the shitty condition will continue to make your life miserable.
The only difference the extra money makes is that once you got used to the money, you're trapped in that position.

- CydeWeys 9y agoA lot of these things don't bring you much additional happiness compared to their lower cost alternatives (especially not suits or fancy dinners). However, what does bring you lots of additional happiness is being able to afford a home that is large enough for you within a short walking distance of work. In many places like SF or NYC that requires a serious amount of money (many millions), and yet it does significantly improve your happiness in a way that a lesser amount of money cannot by buying you more available time each day.
- notyourday 9y ago$5000 is a Kilgour suit. I can take them or leave them - you can get really nice suits for $1k. In NYC, you can get really nice ones for $750. $200 dinner is nothing special. You can easily spend $200 for two people in any major market in any non-garbage restaurant: Appetizers ~ 17-20 each Mains 29-60 each Bottle of wine - 40 and above Tax ~ 10% Tip ~ 20%
