talks about what it's like to be rich.
Apparently, it's more work than you think.

SELL that house, damnit....
One guy: 2500 SF. Just seems out of whack.
So, put the house up for sale today.
I was having a hard time leaving rooms empty. We're trained to fill them with stuff if we've got them (rooms, that is).
So, get rid of the rooms.
I'm not sure the realtor got it. Seemed mystified that I'd sell a nice house 'to get a studio apt.. mostly for the shower'. I was telling a friend how amazingly conditioned we are to buy stuff.. .buy buy buy. If you don't, people look at you askance... 'What are you.. some kinda commie??". Just makes me shake my head and smile.
I think I know what much of this is... I think it has to do mostly with reproduction. Seriously. To a lesser degree it's about impressing your friends, but it's mostly about sex.
I have no desire to have more kids. I have no desire to attract a 'mate', or even be in a serious relationship. I'm mostly just interested in getting this startup company to a point where it's really doing some great stuff, making money and having a positive impact on the world.
When you stop worrying about attracting a mate or impressing people in general, you stop worrying about things like BMW logo's and big houses. Weird eh?
