From Jakob Lund Fisher, author of my favorite personal finance / philosophy book:
The freedom to buy anything you want is actually really limited because it’s proscribed by things that are for sale.
It’s a well kept secret that there is actually a lot more to life than what one can buy.
For example, $10M gives you the freedom to buy seasonal tickets to any seat (including boxes) in the stadium. It might even buy a handshake from the players or a backstage pass. However, it does not buy the freedom to actually play a useful role in a game or as part of the coaching, even at amateur level. It does not buy the feeling of playing—deking an opposing player or dunking a basketball after jumping 2ft in the air—or the game knowledge to appreciate all the nuances of the game. Or even having an interesting conversation with a professional player. These are not bought with money but with (sometimes lots of) time and practice.
