**And on to the show notes!!**
Most people spend decades learning how to make and save money.
Far fewer learn **how to spend it well**.
In this episode, Tyler shares two very personal lists: five things he’ll happily overpay for, and five things he refuses to spend money on again.
Not because one list is objectively right.
Because the point is figuring out **your own list**.
**In this episode, Tyler covers:**
- Why many well-funded retirees still struggle to give themselves permission to spend
- Five things Tyler believes are genuinely worth the money, from generous tipping to buying back time
- Why a capsule wardrobe, books, house cleaning, and even leasing a car can make sense when they solve the right problem
- Five purchases he’s done with—including short-haul first class, expensive wine, and other versions of “luxury” that don’t actually improve his life
- Why outsourcing tasks you hate can increase happiness—but outsourcing things you enjoy can do the opposite
- How to separate spending that buys **time, health, peace, or connection** from spending that mostly buys an audience
- The exercise of building your own “worth it” and “never again” lists
The core idea:
**The money was never the finish line. It’s a tool for buying more of what you already value.**
Spend generously where it meaningfully improves your life.
And stop paying for things you only thought you were supposed to want.
If the show’s been helpful, **leaving a quick review on Apple or Spotify genuinely helps**.
Hope this gives you something to think about this week.
