Ramit Sethi argues that wealthy people often stay trapped in bargain-hunting habits from when they were broke, obsessing over small perks instead of spending freely on what they actually want. Once you have $100K to $800K, the game changes: stop chasing the cheapest deal and start buying the blueberries.
I sometimes see people who have $100K, $500K, $800K, and they're still agonizing over some freaking resi Amex Platinum perk. I'm like, why are you doing this? One of the best parts about having more money is you get the gift of spending it to get the exact experience you want. You do not want to be the millionaire who's afraid to buy blueberries because you're playing a much different game than when you first started out. This is why I'm so passionate about this topic, because it is a tragedy to be playing the same game you played at age 21, 22, where you necessarily didn't have a lot of money. You were trying to find great deals, great bargains. But if you have made it to $100K or beyond, you want to upgrade the way you look at your money.
