Money buys time and attention. If you have money, you can go to any restaurant you like and order anything you like and now have to worry. IIRC DHH mentioned something like that happened with him after BaseCamp became popular. You can avoid waiting in lines. At the airport, instead of waiting in long security lines and crowded terminals, you can buy first class and go through smaller dedicated security lines and wait in a nice lounge. You can even avoid the trip to a crowded airport completely if you fly via private jet. You can pay someone to clean your home. All these things buy time and attention. If you use that extra time and attention for something worthwhile - that is up to you
