Since February while there were just single digit COVID cases in the US, my job told everyone to not take vacation, but theyll remove the maximum cap for everyone during COVID period.

Well, today were green. When this pay period ends, anyone with more than the cap will lose their vacation days and also five additional days so employees are below cap (at least theyll be paid for them).

Just the daily toxicity.

Delivering to six places in an hour is a lot. Thats a place every ten minutes, and the last place would be waiting an hour for their pizza after it was ready unless the delivery driver picks it back up from the store, which then makes it 7 places in an hour. Then you need time to park, meet the person, them to get their payment, and anything else.

My friends are big collectors. CDs, art, video games, alcohol (one friend collects alcohol but doesnt drink it), movies, books.

I used to have these collections In HS and undergrad. Now Im more on the minimal side. I have some board games...even like 15 board games can be a huge collection when theyre $100-600 games.

Even practical crap, I try renting. Otherwise I go digital. I try to also not have a lot of specialized devices and more generalized devices.

Going back for a PhD and making 130k is a huge difference between going back and making 30k. My salary isnt even that high and I talked about it just as much when I made 30k/50k as I do at 150k. people point it out more than I do.

Im amazed by how much a 10-15 year generational gap influences a core personality feature. I guess I see a big difference looking at the young vs old. Some days I wonder how much free will I really have, versus personality being formed by things like age.

Hmmm, let me see if I can try to make something reasonable that would cost $1,000,000 or more.

House - 500k
Golf Clubs - 5k
ATVs - 20k
Bikes - 10k
Trailer - 40k
Vehicles - 100k
Pool table - 10k
Swimming Pool - 50k
Furniture - 50k
Gym equipment - 20k
kitchen equipment - 10k
theater room decked out - 50k
Shed with shed stuff - 25k
Tennis court25k?
Garage workshop - 50k
Hobby - 50k
Hobby 2 - 50k
Old hobby - 25k
Older hobby - 25k

Yeah, I guess I can see it. I mean I would like a swimming pool, but Id rather have a community pool in a community that leans towards young professionals. Same with gym membership and all that.

Maybe Im just used to living in LCOL/MCOL areas (outskirts of salt lake city, center Oklahoma City, outskirts of Philadelphia) mixed with not looking for a while. Million dollar homes are gated mini-mansions...but I guess towards center city theyre closer to normal sized homes. A 20 minute drive makes a huge difference. Even if buying a home in any of those areas Id look around the $200,000 range...maybe Id look for a condo.

I guess collections could ramp up the value if theres rare pieces also. And most people here probably spend their money on items. I have a board game, video game, book, and comic collection and I consider all to be large, but realistically they add up to under 10k if you just grabbed a used copy, a bit more maybe with eBay copies considering some being hard to replace.

I spend apartment cost + 5-10k and feel I participate in luxurious activities and am not limited in what I do, but that also might be because Im just 28. I dont really see much Id want to spend the money on that Id really want and not feel guilty about. And the stuff I would spend it on wouldnt be a physical object as much as services or experiences. Even with a $1,000,000 budget to spend to on things I want (not used for VTSAX for early retirement) Id have difficulties spending that much other than buying a penthouse, but Id probably rather just rent an apartment still.
