Hey everyone, it’s your friend, Fat Guy.

Today we’re talking about trophies. Those things you buy to reward yourself to mark a big change in your financial situation.  I'll read the question, share some personal thoughts, and summarize some of the responses from the FATFIRE subreddit on this topic [https://www.reddit.com/r/fatFIRE/comments/15jypwy/what_was_your_first_big_gift_to_yourself_when_you/]. Here's the question:

“I’m 30 and have $2m+ net worth but really get anxious about spending money. I just recently took a job where I made it to VP level and mentally I’m starting to accept that it’s ok to celebrate by buying some nice things. What were some nice things you bought when you felt like you made it?”

In this episode I'll share some of the top responses from the FATFIRE subreddit and my personal thoughts. 

What was your first big gift to yourself when you feel like you made it? The merits of personal trophies p

A year ago, when I was going through the process of selling my company, I discovered the subreddit ‘FATFIRE.’ It became a source both of comfort and inspiration. People who - through a combination of luck and hard work - had won the game of life. At least, financially.

But rich people have feelings too. And problems. Who else can possibly understand, besides another rich person? That's what the FATFIRE community is all about - sharing questions and experiences that other people simply couldn't understand. 

I love spending time on FATFIRE, and I wanted to go deeper. So I created this podcast to explore some of the topics that are shared there.
