Interesting points from both. Some people actually like being frugal, aka driving much less of a car than they can afford. WB is of course an example. Maybe they get off on power, etc. Sometimes it also could be a work place. If you suddenly show up with a Lambo or McLaren GT in a middle income workplace, there might be too many questions. On the other hand, what's the point if you can't spend a bit.
The rich stay rich by acting poor. The poor stay poor by acting rich. The blingiest people I've come across never had a pot to piss in. I have an in law who's the richest person I know. He makes a couple of million quid a year. The last time he stayed at a fancy hotel the staff asked him to hide his 2003 Skoda out the back. And many people are born doomed when it comes to money. No matter what they can't make the best of it or hang on to it. I've seen it many times. It's a talent as much as anything and you can't teach that. Actually... No talk about rats and how similar we are to them today, just one word. Amygdala. The bigger it is the easier it is to earn and manage money. And we know what makes it grow. So, to whatever degree that part of the brain matters, it can be taught. Even self-taught.

I can only judge on what's placed in front of me. And the people who were broke and crap with money decades ago are still broke and crap with money now despite at various points earning vastly more than I ever did. They pay lip service to sorting their shit out and then go and shit all over that. I've genuinely never known anyone who broke out of that behaviour.

CME will open in an hour... will be interesting to see what happens; must suck to sit on a short and not being able to get out over the weekend  Does somebody know how the price limit works? I mean halting BTC futures trading will not get BTC price changing. Will the be forced settlements?

Will the be forced settlements? here  i like that: must suck to sit on a short and not being able to get out over the weekend not sure what you mean with how "the limit works" when futures trading opens there will be i think gap up, instant gap up so if shorters had close limit on 10500 and gap up instantly put price to 11000, they will close with 11000 and not with 10500...at least i think so

Can they sell if the limit is hit? This would mean that the longs are forcefully pushed out of the contract?

Somehow breaking 10k was more exciting than breaking 11k. 10 was a major milestone, 11 is just... another day at the office.

I can only dream of a couple more weeks of bull run, and then ETF approval (or something like that).. The honey badger will fly (typo fixed)

11K is not that much relevant, but breaking AYH always is.
