Would it come out last week?
about this.
Well, not about this specifically, just about spending profiles.
But I think to your point, Dan, the reason that this is such a lightning rod of a topic is that the decisions are irreversible.
People who have spent their lives saving can't go back and have experiences.
And people who have spent their money on experiences can't go back and save.
So you're talking to people at a point in time who have made irreversible decisions.
And then they look back and it's like, if I'm saying, well, you should have spent more, if someone's saying, well, you should have saved more, you can take that very personally because it's something that you have decided to do that you cannot now undo.
And it gets harder.
harder to undo over time because of compounding.
Anyway, I think it's this very, very interesting topic.
Like the psychology of spending.
And I think in that video that I'm still conceptualizing, I think I'll go into another thing that you just mentioned, Dan, which is what should you spend money on?
You've nailed it, Dan.
It's one thing to say, well, you should spend more money.
But I think people hear that and they imagine that's going to give young people listening, and this may be true, that's going to give young people listening the excuse, the justification to go and blow money on frivolous crap.
And that is a real concern.
But I think that there's a much higher, more useful level of advice if we can say, here are the things that you can spend money on that will probably improve your life, that you probably won't look back on and regret.
And for those things, it might make sense to save a little bit less.
It's a topic where it's very easy to come across as judgmental when you say you should save.
