       @dave there's much to think about in what you've writtenThe rule of only buying things you can use is eminently practical and prevents frivolity in the answers.I'd only add a question of what you spend the most time doing. And whether money can improve it at all. Then the need shrinks even further.Thanks for writing this.

       @dave Good Piece, I worked it out 10 years ago (for me) and then took early retirement....No point in slogging away once you get to enough.I would disagree with your thoughts on interest, I just assume that my investments will make enough to keep up with inflation, with a little bit left over.

       @dave Your point about second houses: I want (and yes, a want not a need) to travel int’l with no more than a briefcase. Owning neans pre-placing clothes. Do high end hotels store for return visits? (Claridges’ might.) Even a cozy Airbnb host probably won’t.I’ve seen the TED about buying at thrift stores once you get there. Innovative, but only works if your size is common. Mine ain’t.

       @BrianSmith950 i wrote that piece 20 years ago when you could still see appreciation through interest.
