4. Stuff does not buy you happiness.
There is an image that our society as a whole seems to subscribe to of what it means to be rich, and a good part of that image is attached to buying stuff. With a lack of a different role model, I found myself subscribing to that belief system, even as I questioned why the heck I needed these things.

Next time I’m rich I’m not going to attempt to fill holes in my life by purchasing stuff. I’m going to use the money to do good and live a more extraordinary life, defined by what I do and experience, not what I own. Stuff just ties you down and forces you to make yet more money. You can be rich with a lot less money if you stop buying lots of stuff!
