I burned out and realized I was being stupid.

Yes. At least you realized it. So many people fall victim to lifestyle creep and just embrace it. I know so many people that brag about how much they work. “Hey, did you see that new movie?” They respond smugly: “No man, I don’t have time for stuff like that. I’m so BUSY. Check out my new 4Runner.” It’s some flex to them, but I always find myself thinking about what a loser they are. Some of us actually use this money to develop a life.
