About to reach 1cr NW but it don't feel enough

Heyy bro. Congratulations . It's a huge money. My perspective towards money is different. For me Money is always relative . What 1000 rupee is to you is different for me or some rich and poor person . You should feel happy about making it this big. And guide us what you did. In terms of your total exp , number of switches you took , your starting salary and all that stuff

Celebrate it. As a milestone achieved!

Budget it, might be 50K, 1L, 2L whatever. And aim to spend that on whatever maximises your happiness over next 45days! Have a hard deadline.

Do something that maximises your happiness. You can spend it all on an iPhone or get 5-10 complimentary gadgets. You can do 1 international trip or 2-3 local trips or just a week in 5 star hotel in your city. The aim is to know how money can make YOU happy. It's a learning process. Spending money is an art, practice it

Congratulations bro. You can still feel not rich with 10k less than your current net worth. Should I DM you my UPII ID 🙂

You're in a good situation.

1. This networth can only give you security and safety which most Indians don't have. You should feel more secure than others.
2. Let this 1 Cr compound over the years while you also add more to your savings.
3. For happiness, you need to find other ways which most Indians know, especially the poor people and the middle class.

It’s no money, it’s jealousy. Solution is different.

Was in similar state some time back. Lifestyle inflation and general inflation is what cause this lack of dopamine.
If i talk in network terms. Going from 1L to 2L felt huge but after that all stale. Next big was 10L. Next 50L. Then 1cr.
This fades away. Beauty of dopamine. It wears off.

The thing is we unconsciously don’t realise. That with growing networth, our goal changes. I used to be excited in smaller things which have become boring over the time. Our goal changes.

If you dont embrace this feeling, your mind now needs to feel this achievement again. Which might come at 5cr. But then it will again wear off.

To me what has helped is defining goal. Realistically planned goals. And not limiting it a age. Because its adding to pressure. For example. I am buying a home when i am in 33-35 age. This gives me goals in mind and way to achieve.

Agree. This might feel small. But because your mental goal has shifted. Whereas it might seems a victory to some. Too low for others. Etc.

Enjoy the landmark. Most importantly. Celebrate wins. Go out on a fancy dinner. Buy something useless. Plan a vacation. After all. You have earned it.

Ah, well to be fair from our teenage days, the value of 1Cr has significantly depreciated.

You are rich. But seems like your friends are even richer

Congratulations. If your total YoE is 6 years, this is a significant achievement. Don't get bogged down by what others are earning/owning. Chart your own growth path. Save what you can, enjoy when you can, work while you can. Remember, there's always someone earning less than you. Be grateful for what you have. This 1 Cr will turn into many more soon. Best wishes.

No amount of money is enough if you don't know how to use it
