I think this might be my most stick-in-the-mud bourgeoise attitude. I suspect wolves of wall street and both very rich and very poor people don't think this way.

Weird medium-is-message effect: I can only take money as seriously as the work I do to earn it. This means if I want to be more serious with spending/saving/investment, I have to earn it in more serious ways. Anybody else experience this?

Guess it is highly depends on how you distinguish between 'receiving' and 'earning' money
-
what's that distinction in your mind? is investment returns receiving or earning?

my relationship with money is really inconsistent. good regular paycheck for 5 years, got immune to it and didn't think about it. $200 from patrons, feelings of intense gratitude. dinner with friends and family? I am a generous king. eating out by myself? pls,,, I has no coin
-
wife and I: should we spend $200 getting another ipad keyboard since we both keep sharing one? surely it is this sort of extravagance that leads people into spiraling poverty and debt and divorce also wife and I: we are too busy to buy groceries, let us buy takeout every day

I never thought about it this way, but looking back it makes perfect sense. The way I’ve handled my money has always correlated to the way I’ve earned it.

Isn't this just that you only expect marginal value to match the marginal cost (in effort) of earning that money? Or, am I misunderstanding the situation?

Now I want a similar analysis of the medium-is-metaphor effect. But I think that leads to the absurdity of compensation and value.

this is why my tax return money — even though it’s stuff I earned with work and not the free gov money that it intuitively feels like — gets blown without a second thought
