Money doesn't buy happiness, but it does buy time. Time to do the things that make you happy.

Edit: I've gone from living in my car with no hope to 3600 square foot house and a realistic goal to retire early. I know have my groceries delivered, my too big of a house cleaned by a house cleaning service, my car maintained by the dealership. These are all things I can do myself, but I have enough resources to have someone else do it while I enjoy my time off.

Money also buys things that enable you to explore things.

Like if you buy an instrument you're usually out $100-200 at a minumum especially if you add on books and accessories. but learning it can be super rewarding for years.

Looking at my guitar, 3d printer, drawing notebooks, balls of yarn, flute and god knows what else I have buried in my many junk drawers…

Every one of them came with that feeling….
I feel like having a little cry right now 😭

You can draw a 3d printable guitar then knit a gigbag for it.
Finding a way to make my hobbies collide helped me a bit.

Combining my hobbies is how I get the feds at my house.
