One of the most profound realizations I’ve come to is this: as my age and net worth have gradually risen, my desire to consume has actually moved in the opposite direction — steadily downward.
It’s not that I don’t enjoy spending money. It’s that earning money gives me a far deeper sense of satisfaction.
Especially when you’re absolutely certain that a sum invested — a single concentrated effort — will become an enduring, ever-flowing stream of new wealth. In that moment, you suddenly realize: spending money on consumption is genuinely… pointless.
Here’s something that flies in the face of intuition. Many people assume that the female celebrities and influencers raking in enormous sums must have terrifying consumption habits — buying everything in sight like compulsive shoppers.
But having spent time with many of these women, I’ve found the opposite to be true. Their spending habits are remarkably rational — far more disciplined than your typical mindless shopaholic. They deeply understand the principle of putting money where it actually counts.
What’s fascinating is how willingly they invest in elevating themselves.
This includes — but isn’t limited to — beauty and rejuvenation, expanding business channels, cultivating connections, building lasting assets, and consulting the finest experts to bring clarity to their path forward and life pattern (格局).
This is exactly why I keep telling my brothers and sisters: you must learn to evolve your place in the ecosystem.
Ascend from someone who only consumes, buys, and pays out — to someone who produces, builds a business, and collects payment.
This is an enormous and complex subject, I know. But the awareness of it — that you need to awaken to as early as possible.
Because no matter how exquisite the luxury goods of this world may be, the happiness they deliver…
…can never compare to the ease and contentment of living in a spacious, quality home, with the quiet confidence of several steady streams of income flowing reliably into your hands.
Don’t rush — this goal isn’t easy. But you will get there, in the end.
Goodnight, my brothers and sisters.
