Carl and I didn't do a good job of evolving with money. Even after we had more than enough, we continued to behave like broke college students in many ways. Not good.
Consider the opposite situation: If you weren't wealthy and lost your job, you'd find ways cut your spending. So why do many of us not learn how to spend when our net worth grows?
But money shouldn't be wasted because you have more of it. It's complicated...
