I always wonder when I see wealthy people doing janky, high-effort, clumsy shit that poorer people can't avoid because they don't have money for the clean solutions
You'd think freedom from jankiness in life solutions would be high on the shopping list for the wealthy

for people who acquire new levels of wealth, it's often hard to break old habits of using jankiness as a savings strategy, because they're tied to emotional patterns/attitudes about money

It‘s generally amazing that most wealthy people are blind to the most effective uses of their wealth, especially day-to-day. It‘s as if they need a coach to help them spend.

Sometimes there's a sense of accomplishment that comes from doing the janky stuff, e.g., driving a stick-shift car.
