How to spend your money

Yesterday I talked about getting a party bus for my girlfriend’s bday, money blocks, abundance, and other stuff. Today we’re gonna dive into the specifics of the two main ways you can spend your money. Specifically the money that doesn’t go to your living expenses. But first, here’s the picture I promised you of me dressed as a cowboy... What you can’t see is my amazing pair of boots haha. Anyways, that picture is relevant to what I’m gonna talk about because on Friday night I spent $2,442 on a single night of fun. (Which I detailed yesterday.) That’s not a crazy amount of money to some people but it’s a lot to lots of people. There are two main ways you can spend discretionary income. The income above your living expenses. Experiences or Things. Neither one is better than the other. One of them is just likely better for YOU. If you’re looking at this through a pure lens of economics then you’d have to decide that things are a better thing to spend money on than experiences. Things last longer than experiences. A car may last decades. A house even longer. A TV may last a few years. Etc. Experiences are done once they’re done. They don’t live forever. But the memories do. I personally like to buy nice things. I think you should have a car you love (or a truck in my case). A house that fills with you joy because you spend 50% to 80% of time at home. And a badass living room with an epic couch and TV set up. Beyond that I don’t like a lot of expensive things. But I love epic experiences. Spending a week in a hotel on the beach. Renting a beautiful airbnb on a mountain. Going to a $1,000 dinner with friends. Paragliding in Switzerland. Doing ice baths in lakes in Iceland. And running across the ridges of Cinque Terre, Italy. Going to a Liverpool match with your ginger Irish friend. Paying for a trip to Mexico with your parents. Or getting a party bus for your friends. Those experiences may have only lasted a short amount of time. But the memories last forever. And the experiences change you as a human. So for me personally, I’d rather buy experiences than things. For you it may be different. Maybe you love expensive watches or fancy shoes. Whatever it is you love, optimize for that. Spend your money on the things that make YOU happy. Not the things that look cool on Instagram. (It’s fine if they look cool on Instagram…just don’t make that the sole reason you buy stuff.) My brain is fried so I don’t have much more to say. But I hope that’s helpful in some way. I know I used to have a hard time spending money on stuff until I removed my big money blocks. (And I started making WAY more money.) I have a course called Remove Your Money Blocks that will help you get rid of your blocks. It’s normally $47 but it’s only $30 until Friday night because I took 35% off for my girlfriend’s 35th birthday. [ Click here to check it out]( Talk soon, Ian “do fun shit” Stanley P.S.
