Anyone here who made it with Bitcoin but still keeps living like a average person? Thank god I made it, thanks to Bitcoin. But I keep staying in cheap hotels, try to eat good food but without spending unnecessary money etc. For example, I eat a good steak but I don’t choose a steak house but prefer a supermarket where you buy the meat from the butcher and then they cook it for you in the built in restaurant.. That costs me 20 bucks vs 60-80 bucks in the steak house for the same meat. I’m not sure if this is a good or a bad habit. I hate to spent money on things that do not give me more benefits than the cheaper version. A luxury hotel is nice but at the end you just need it for the night sleep. I’m outside all day exploring. Some people spent 500 bucks a night for a hotel. I try to safe 5€ per night by finding the same hotel over google. Usually I pay 40-50€ per night for a hotel

Another example, I live in the center of Bangkok and stay in a luxury apartment in Asok. The room is only 30 sqm and it costs me 700 euros a month. I could have a 60 sqm apartment in the same building but would cost me 1400 Euros. I just can’t justify spending that much money every month because it’s money I won’t ever see again.  So, I live on a budget, but still in a luxury place. Trying to find the middle way when it comes to spending money.

Would be interesting to hear different opinions on this topic. Some people spent it on yachts and lambos. I try to live as cheap (but good) as possible.

If you want (or buy) is what you (really) need, i don't see much of a failure. Just because it's money, doesn't mean it has to be spent for things you don't need just because you can. Maybe the lambo and yacht people are just bored with their lives and try to compensate for it through luxury goods. In the end, most of all stuff we do or buy, we expect to make us feel better, feel alive. When you think twice, the little things and relations are what serve this purpose the best, imo.
There are whole industries telling us every day what makes us feel good or valuable, but again, if you already know how to get there, you don't need all these things they want to seduce us to throw our money at.
Sorry for my awkward semantics, i had an exhausting day today. I think most of you understand, though.
