Episode notes
Short-Term vs. Long-Term
- Prioritize either short-term enjoyment or long-term savings, or find a balance.
- Overspending, ignoring the future, or adopting a nihilistic approach can lead to issues.
Type 1 vs. Type 2 Fun
- Type 1 fun is instantly gratifying but less memorable (e.g., Netflix).
- Type 2 fun requires effort but offers long-term satisfaction (e.g., hiking).
Time-Bound Experiences
- Acknowledge that short-term indulgences are sometimes valid, especially for time-sensitive experiences.
- Consider when certain activities are best enjoyed, given physical and financial capacity.
