When I quit, this kind of spending stopped immediately, and I was surprised at how little I missed it. I’ve since found guidance to reframe how I think about money from Ramit Sethi, an entrepreneur who helps people with personal finances. He asks a great question: “What is your rich life?” The purpose of this question is to stop you from looking at money as an accountant and looking at it as something that might help you live your ideal life. Over time, I’ve found a clear answer: having ownership of my time enriches my life.
