Re: Poker throwing off my sense of proportion with money
What I've decided is that my TIME is worth a lot of money. So while I don't buy more things, I'm willing to pay a lot more than I used to for things (like cabs or non-stop flights) that save me significant amounts of time. I'm also more likely to buy things quickly, without spending hours comparison shopping, and to buy from convenient places rather than cheap places.
I remember the first time I held $10000 in hundred-dollar bills. It felt surreal, I was grinning like a madman and flipping the bills around like crazy. Now it's just a heavy lump.
