This reminds me. I had a colleague who bought a Porsche. He went through a million hoops to be able to afford it - buying used, restoring etc. He loved taking photos with it and they looked great. He looked literally like a million $ - dressed up, nice sunglasses, nice watch, SoCal roads etc. He loved talking about it and genuinely enjoyed living the Porsche life. This man got his money’s worth and much more. He bought the car and let its presence and status and demands influence his life in a multitude of positive ways. Speaking with him and seeing this influence gave me another viewpoint and I was inspired. Not to buy an expensive car but toward excellence in something - anything.
