How to Live as Well as a Billionaire
When you think about the rich — the really rich — you may find yourself
marveling at their… well, their money.
Take Bill Gates. If you think $10 million is a fortune, consider this: He has 5,000
of them. If he put his money in $1,000 bills, he'd have 50 million of them!
But how much better does he live? Sure, he's got a huge house. And a yacht.
He's probably got a jet too. But who needs that crap? Really!
If you make at least $100,000 a year ($150,000 if you are raising a family), you
can live as well as Bill Gates does — and I'll prove it to you. If you aren't yet
making that much, you'll have to put aside this essay until you are. (If you're
following ETR, it shouldn't take very long.)
Let's start by identifying some of life's basic experiences:
§ sleeping
§ working
§ dressing
§ eating/drinking
§ leisure
Now the purpose of becoming rich — you would think — would be to make each
of these experiences as rewarding as possible.
Take sleeping. What does a billionaire want out of his sleep time? I'd say the
same thing you do: blissful, uninterrupted unconsciousness. And what will give
you that (besides peace of mind, which you can't buy)?
Answer: a great mattress.
And how much does a great mattress cost? Maybe $1,500. That means you can
buy yourself a billion-dollar sleep for no more than $1,500. If you are making
$100,000 a year, you can afford it.
So get rid of that lumpy thing you are sleeping on and get yourself the best
mattress you can find. Then go to sleep every night content that Bill Gates can
have it no better.
