Have you become "numb" to your larger balance?
Since 2020, I've had a cash brokerage account thats grown from $60K to $150K.
My wife and I make $120K. We live pretty minimally though. We are 31 and 33
Ive noticed that over the years, ive become numb to my money balance. Its separate from our retirement thats just about $75K combined.
Its like I dont consider it mine, its just growing and I sometimes feel like money is an issue.
Its kind of hard to explain but I guess ive I noticed it as I was approaching $150K. Just yesterday I reached $150K and I felt like "i need that milestone" meanwhile I felt the same at $100k and $125k ect.
Can anyone relate? Thanks.
