I have recently moved into a new apartment. It is the first time in many years that I am buying stuff and furnishing from scratch. A strange effect: now that I’ve bought things, I struggle to imagine things that I could buy that would make me more happy.

There are many objects in the like $5000 range that I can theoretically afford but don’t really want to spend the money on, like a high end espresso maker or an Eames lounge chair. But i am already happy with my normal-mortal espresso maker.

So it’s a strange feeling. I’ve spent a few thousand dollars on stuff from a few vendors and now… I’m set? There are flights of fancy, like it’d be neat if I had a sauna and an extra room full of gym equipment, but again — that’s not really motivating, I know I don’t really care
