I poor all the money I can into my future self. That actually does make me happy. I don't see lifestyle inflation as a good idea especially for young people.
Me too. I figure, if I can get some shit done in my 20s, I can have a pretty sweet time in my 30s, running a small company and spending time with my future family rather than working an unfulfilling 9 to 5 and trying to make up for it by partying hard on the weekends.
