Re: Poker throwing off my sense of proportion with money
Penny-wise, pound-foolish.
Newfound wealth is really an eye-opening experience, as it taught me the inherent futility of obtaining it. I did the whole "spend like there's no tomorrow" when I first started making substantial money in poker, but I eventually realized there were only so many things I could buy that I really wanted.
Enjoy your newfound wealth for a little while and upgrade the little things, but stay away from the large purchases and "flavor of the week" impulses. Invest wisely and enjoy the little things in life. Don't stress about where you buy gas and how much your dinner was, think bigger.
