As you age, revenues and costs of life both go up. Amounts that seem life-changing at 18-22 seem like they'd barely cause a ripple at 40

Your life inertia can be measured by the amount of money it would take now to steer it as decisively as 3k could, sophomore summer year.

My life inertia has increased by 100x. This is why being rich is useful and the idea that "happiness doesn't increase beyond 72k" is BS

like this. I've been thinking about shove. I was asked to join a coop non profit board recently in return for 100hrs a year

that's fine. But when I was thinking about what I can personally shove out the door in 100hrs. I don't think others would do the same.

Wouldn't say 'memefied' but in my own mind: shove is different from 100hrs of effort/time.
