A short YouTube monologue (Sept 21, 2023) by Mark Evans DM reflecting on the personal growth and changed perspective from taking a $150,000-per-week yacht trip. The speaker argues that such an expense, rather than merely a loss, expands understanding of opportunity by revealing higher tiers of wealth (example: larger yachts renting for $700K–$1.2M/week and owners of major companies).

When I go on a yacht trip and spend 150 grand for a week, you could look at that as a loss. The truth is, it expands me, it makes me grow.

And then he's like, oh, yeah, he owns Home Depot. Oh, yeah, he owns this hedge fund. Oh, yeah, that guy owns this company. Oh, yeah, that's Hendrick's Automotive. And then you're like, whoa, what? Oh, yeah, that's 1.2 million a week to rent. Oh, yeah, that one's 700 grand a week to rent. So you think you're big dogging it up. And by the way, you might be at that moment, but now you understand that there's a level in the level.
