Learning how to spend money is also important

·1 min

I recently listened to How to Live Your Rich Life with Ramit Sethi. While I don’t agree with everything that Ramit mentioned, I realized one important thing from the podcast: creating wealth isn’t sufficient, you also need to learn how to spend it, otherwise what’s the point of earning all that money. Moreover, the switch - on when you realize you have enough to stop saving and start spending - doesn’t flip automatically. I know because it didn’t (or, rather, hasn’t fully) for me.

I did buy a VPN for 4-5 months without thinking a lot. The amount was small but the latter part was new for me! I gotta start thinking less about similar minor expenses. (For e.g., music subscription etc.)
