I had a three-star Michelin meal one time.
This was last summer in Europe.
And I found it very mediocre at best.
And some of the dishes I found-
Bad, legitimately bad.
And they looked beautiful and it was expensive and the atmosphere was amazing.
But I think that's the perfect heuristic of like rich food looks better than it tastes.
I think that's true.
What do you splurge on?
This seems like a cheating answer, but I think I splurged on independence because that's how I view it.
I have a very high savings rate.
That's not how I view it.
I view it as I buy independence.
I purchase little claim checks of independence.
I travel pretty well.
I don't travel cheap.
And I value that because I travel a lot.
So I feel like it's almost a necessity to keep my sanity.
So that's something that I don't cheap out on.
My wife is a very talented gardener, landscaper.
