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

If you're already happy, TCO of life might stabilize at 72k, but if you need to *steer* you need more in proportion to inertia

Of course you could argue that with creativity, you can steer as much with 100k as with 300k or 3mm, but creativity isn't easy to increase

(Carol Dweck/growth mindset notwithstanding, you can't mindset-change your way trivially to doing 300k moves with 30k)

@eli_schiff Which is why if you could fix it, that would be as much a life changer as a conscious path change.
