**Envision Your Wealth: The 10M exercise **
Engaging in a thought exercise by envisioning life with ten million dollars encourages individuals to define specific changes they would make in their lives. This exercise reveals that many desires attributed to a higher financial status can actually be satisfied with significantly less money, sometimes only a few million or even less. The majority of life-enhancing choices people make view money as a barrier; however, they can also be achieved with practical financial planning. For instance, the desire for a private chef can lead to specific arrangements that don't require wealth beyond reach. Furthermore, the approach to money highlights a dichotomy—using it as a tool to enhance life quality versus as a measuring stick for success. Happy individuals typically see money as a means to better their lives, while the discontented view it as a benchmark, indicating a deeper relationship with wealth and well-being.
