Christian Osgood made millions in real estate but says his most valued purchase is a $40 pair of barefoot shoes from Amazon. He argues that happiness comes from appreciating small, inexpensive comforts, not big financial wins.
Best thing I ever spent money on, by the way. Barefoot shoes, Amazon. Why? Why the barefoot shoes? These things are freaking comfortable. They're $40. It's the little things that you really appreciate. Like, we made millions of dollars in real estate. We do a lot. I look back, I'm like, what's the coolest thing we did with the money? And like, the first thing that comes to mind, like, I have a really comfortable pair of shoes that I don't think I would have bought myself or experimented with. It's the little things. Like, you don't need money to be happy at all.
