🎁 Spending vs. Assets: Are You a 1:100 or 1:1000 Type?
Recently, I’ve noticed an interesting theory: there seems to be a proportional relationship between people's spending levels and their assets.
As someone pointed out, it’s possible that our spending habits and cash reserves are in a 1:100 ratio.
For example, if you have $100,000 in savings, you might not hesitate to spend $1,000 on something; and if you have $1,000,000 in savings, you might not hesitate to spend $10,000.
However, some people say that when it comes to regular daily expenses, a 1:1000 ratio better reflects their spending habits.
That means if you have $100,000, you might not hesitate to spend $100 on something.
So, if you had $100,000 in assets, how much would you spend on daily expenses without hesitation?
Would it be $1,000? Or perhaps less, or even more?
Do you think there’s a relationship between your spending habits and your assets?
Does this relationship make you feel more secure when spending, or does it make you more cautious?

消費習慣和資產之間的關係通常表明，較高的資產在支出方面提供了更大的靈活性和安全性。擁有大量資產的人可能會對可自由支配支出感到更放心，而資產較少的人可能會限制支出以確保長期財務穩定。
最終，擁有更多資產是否會讓您感到安全或謹慎取決於您的個人財務目標和風險承受能力。平衡眼前的享受和長期規劃對於有效管理開支至關重要。 @Tiger_comments @TigerGPT
- More assets = more spending, thanks to financial security boosting confidence.
- Less assets = more frugal spending to preserve resources.
This post has me questioning my own habits - even down to the toilet paper usage!
For dividend investors, when we look at dividend returns, do we look at it from angle of cash assets from company cash or is it from
Free cash flow?
I believe that in order for dividend returns to be substainable, it should be from what is recurring.
When we spend a portion of recurring income while
Leaving capital untouched, we can use the capital to invest and in return even higher cash flow. Hence, I believe in spending as a portion of recurring income instead of vs assets. Similar to how we evaluate dividend companies.
With regards to 1:100 or 1:1000. Using the same approach, but vs income. When income is $4000, spending $4 won’t be painful. But spending $40 builds up rapidly.
Hence, before income is high enough to spend at 1:1000 rate, the focus should be on accumulating assets to get high enough active + passive income before spending to reward ourselves. But then, that’s just my POV. [Cool]
