There is a very interesting phenomenon that most people have double standards in investment and consumption.

The floating loss fluctuations in daily positions can reach hundreds of thousands, and they might not even blink an eye; they have become completely numb under the market's devastation.

However, when shopping for a meal, buying clothes, or purchasing a skin in a game, even those expenses of a few hundred dollars still require careful consideration, often waiting for a discount to buy.

I am that kind of person.

I calculated that in the past two years, the total amount spent in games should be around 5000 yuan, averaging only about 200 yuan per month, and the amount spent on clothes and shoes should not exceed ten thousand, which is quite frugal.

Spending money like water in the investment market, but being stingy in daily consumption, sometimes it seems quite ridiculous when I think about it.

I have always believed that learning how to consume is a compulsory course for everyone, not just investment. Otherwise, what is the point of earning so much money if you don't know how to spend it?

However, I have been busy with work for the past two years and have never taken the time to consume seriously even once.

In my view, consumption does not mean spending indiscriminately to get a fleeting dopamine rush, but rather using money to buy experiences, exchange time, and enhance oneself.

Although I have entered the basics of investment, I feel that I will still encounter many pitfalls in consumption, and there is still a long way to go.
