The Freedom of Low-Maintenance Identity

If you drive a beat-up Toyota, no one expects a $2,000 suit. You have freedom.

You can wear jeans. Eat a burrito in the car. Live your life. A low-maintenance

identity is the most profitable asset you can own. It lets you stack cash while everyone

else curates their museum. There’s nothing wrong with nice things.

I like nice things too. But understand the game. Consumerism promises

you’re one purchase away from happiness. Diderot showed us the truth 300 years ago: that purchase

doesn’t finish the puzzle—it scrambles it. Don’t be a slave to the robe.

Be the master of your life.
