There’s a basic tradeoff here that goes back ages. If you have a resource, there’s 3 regimes: scarcity, sufficiency, and abundance, which map to leveraged usage, optimal usage, optioned usage. Where the resourcecstate is measured on a subjective marginal utility curve.

Example if you have a volatile supply of apples and no cold storage: 0-1 apple/week = leveraged use as a salad accent 2-5 apples/week = just eat’em 5-15 apples = learn recipes for pies, cider, preserves, apple sauce, wine, etc, make as needed $ is a bit more complex than apples
Kinda interesting when billionaires have $ that for most people would be in extreme abundance range, like a billion apples a week, but treat it like 1 apple and leverage it into space programs salad, restoring-the-monarchy salad etc. You could classify billionaires this way
