Making money doesn’t just change your lifestyle, it changes your baseline.

You get used to the best hotels, best seats, best service… and suddenly normal things start feeling “mid.”

Not because they are, because your perspective got hijacked.

That’s the real trap: when luxury becomes identity.

Then everything turns into optics: “Is this my level?” “Does this look good?”

That’s not standards, that’s insecurity wearing a suit.

Enjoy nice things, sure. Just don’t let them own you.

Real power is being good anywhere — five-star or local café.

If you need luxury to feel whole, you’re dependent.

If you don’t… you’re dangerous.
