    You need to blow some, more a a psychological reward than anything. The problem is definitely not increasing your standard of living to unsustainable levels, it’s not mega yacht money, but you could have a nice boat.

      There was a short story or thought experiment or something about this man who won a silk robe. To properly enjoy it he wanted to have a fancy tea served in a fancy pot. Then he wanted a nice chair to be in. It kept growing and growing. I don’t remember the details but it is definitely a good illustration of lifestyle inflation.
