Say you are in a terrific position: you have figured out a reliable risk-adjusted approach that is netting you 7 figures a year. You know the tide will pull back at some point but feel euphoric nonetheless. You want to reward yourself. You love compounding but ask yourself why work hard to make it if not to spend some and enjoy life. You have paid off your large mortgage already, have 3 kids, a fast car, a dog, a penguin and an iPhone 10x. You know nothing about art, and not care to show off (Jewellery etc)... How would you spend some of your disposable income if it was you (or when it will be you ) ?
Book a cruise or two or three with True North, top end Australia. https://www.truenorth.com.au/aboard/expedition-photography/
Start a charitable organization. The best gift is the one you give. But it’s hard for a person to go from scarcity to abundance state of mind. Hope to get there one day.
Agree on a cruise, though I picked Europe. Take your extended family. Send kids to best colleges. Fund their own business(es). Invest in local startups. Support a local school, especially in a poor area.
Spending on birds is well beyond my risk limits . I take it that Best's epicurean hedonism is not your game!
