I am on $125k MRR.
I had an interesting call with a friend about money mindset.
I spend a lot of money on marketing. Some days, I might just transfer around $5k-$6k to creators to post stuff for me (not really counting)
I am pretty lonely here in Thailand, and he recently got laid off, so I offered to buy him a ticket and a hotel room to come visit.
I am growing around $1k/mrr per day, and we talked about the stuff that I own, for example:
> I have an iPhone 14
> I have a MacBook Pro 2021 max
> I drive a rented, cheap MG car
> I have a 2-bedroom apartment (I would happily switch to 3 for a work room)
For tech:
I usually upgrade my phone after I give my wife a new phone, I recently bought her a new iPhone 17 Pro
Car:
I feel it's problematic to buy a car as a visitor to the country.
Apartment:
Found it comfortable with a 2-bedroom apartment and a lot of work to switch to a 3-bedroom (finding and moving with a little baby is hard)
So he asked me, "Why don't you upgrade your phone and your MacBook Pro?"
And I was like: I just bought a phone for my wife, so maybe next year, and there is going to be a MacBook Pro reboot next year, so it's better to hold until then.
So he said, just buy them now and, in a few months, buy a new one (whoever does something like that?).
He said that just to cover a new iPhone is 2 days of not doing anything, and I would spend much more money on something else, like buying him a flight ticket.
He is not wrong, yet something in my mind prevents me from making such a purchase (Maybe since I almost use no phones)
But bottom line, I am thinking about buying a new iPhone 😂
Would you spend more if you made more?
