Applies to most other things as well. More often than not "original" are the best tasting.
Of course, I'd do all the obvious things, such as getting a bigger house, a newer car, and quitting work, but beyond that, I have no interest in an extravagant lifestyle—or at least that's what I tell myself.
By a bigger house, I mean one typical of upper-middle-class living. I've watched plenty of videos of people touring million-dollar mansions, and they all look too big, open, and sterile to me. I've seen cozier tiny homes than those. And by a newer car, I mean a 2017 model or so instead of the 2007 one I drive now.
Really, give me a nice cottage by the lake with some land and a big garage for all my tools and toys, and I'm all set. I much prefer the idea of "hidden wealth" over showing it off. I'm just kind of worried that I wouldn't be able to live up to my own expectations if push comes to shove, and there's really no way of testing that. Am I just kidding myself here?
I feel the same way about fame. Many people aspire to become successful YouTubers or such, but the idea of people recognizing me on the street sounds awful.
Whenever I think about the things I'd do if money truly weren't a limiting factor, I honestly can't think of more than a handful of really expensive things I'd like to have or do. However, the idea of a private cruise on a luxury yacht seems pretty intriguing. It's not so much about owning one but just going on a cruise every now and then. I watched a video on YouTube where a yacht's chef mentioned that the guests can ask for basically any food or drink, and they'll be able to make it for them. I must admit, that sounds pretty sweet.

Who have I been harassing? What the hell mods?
..and do you think that you posting it has a positive, neutral or negative effect on the world?
By content I mean what ever you're posting online. The pictures you post on Instagram/Pixelfed or messages you're writing on Lemmy, YouTube comment section, Facebook and so on.
If you look back at what you have posted in the past year for example, do you consider it to be the kind of content that you would gladly consume if it was coming from someone else? If not, then why are you posting it in the first place?
