“Even though the clothes you wore before were OK, there’s still a big difference between wearing expensive clothes and cheap ones. Why do you have to make things hard for yourself?”
Yigol Novak nodded but didn’t say anything.
Suri Drew continued, “Anyway, you have a lot of money, so you can buy whatever you want. You don’t have to act like in the movies and throw away clothes after only wearing them once or twice, but dressing in more high-end clothes is fine.”
“As for me, you’re right. Women always feel like they need another piece of clothing in their wardrobe. I was just too busy with work before and didn’t pay attention to that. If I ever have more time, I’ll go shopping every day too.” “It’s like what you said about your feelings about cars. You didn’t go for them because you haven’t seen all the options out there yet. Once you see the temptations, you won’t be able to stop yourself. I bet if I go crazy, I’ll buy so many things that I won’t even have room to store them.”
Yigol Novak nodded in agreement. It seemed that his way of thinking needed to change as well.
What’s the purpose of life? It’s to live and be happy. There was no money before, so there was no choice. Now that there’s money, they should enjoy life to the fullest. What’s the point of having all that money if they don’t enjoy it? They can’t take it with them when they die.
“Honey, how about we buy a bigger villa? We can live there for a while, and then move into our wedding house when we get married. Since we don’t lack money, you should stop putting all your energy into work. I’m not saying you shouldn’t work, but you can hire people to help you manage the company. That way, you won’t be as busy. We can go travel and see the world, and experience different sceneries. When we’re tired, we can come back and rest for a few days. ”
“We can hire a housekeeper and a few maids to take care of our home and our lives. Money isn’t an issue. In your spare time, you can do what you enjoy. I won’t keep you by my side all the time. You can go shopping, exercise, or do kick-boxing, which you like. All of that is possible.”
“As for me, when I’m free, I can do things I like, like playing with cars.”
“Honey, if you’re willing, I’ll arrange it right away. Don’t worry, your husband can definitely afford to take care of you.”
However, Suri Drew didn’t believe him: “Stop bragging. If I really lived that kind of life, I would probably eat you out of house and home sooner or later. You’re the richest person in our country. Do we really have the right to live such a luxurious life? By the time you run out of money, I will have gotten used to that lifestyle. How can I go back to being independent then?”
“Haven’t you heard that saying? ‘If I had not seen the sun, I could have borne the shade.’ If I never experienced that kind of life, I would be satisfied with the life I have now.”
“You’ll feel the same way. When that happens, how will we deal with it? We may both become depressed.”
Yigol Novak laughed at what Suri Drew had said.
“Why are you laughing? Am I wrong?” Suri Drew asked discontentedly.
“No, I just feel like you’re too clear-headed, honey. But no matter how capable you are, you can’t possibly make me go broke.” Yigol Novak replied confidently.
Suri Drew didn’t buy it: “I know you’re rich, but even richest people have limits, right? Even if you have mountains of gold and silver, they’ll run out eventually. Are you saying you have more money than the richest person in the world? If we really live like you say, we’d be spending hundreds of thousands dollars per day. That’s too extravagant.”
The more Suri talked, the more Yigol found it amusing. She really didn’t believe in him.
He shook his head and asked Suri to stop talking.
“Honey, just take your time discovering your husband’s secrets. About the money, you tell me if over one hundred billion dollars is enough for your lifetime of spending?”
Yigol Novak wasn’t deliberately leading Suri on. He actually had about that much money, but he didn’t know the exact amount.
“This isn’t about how much money. People’s habits change as their capability increases. For example, when I was young, before I started my company and made money, I could wear ten dollars clothes. But you know, my life was actually pretty good when I was young, so that period was quite difficult for me.”
“Later, when I had money, I immediately improved my quality of life. Although my energy is mostly focused on work now and my habits haven’t changed very quickly, they are gradually changing. If they change too fast and become habits, we may not be able to go back if one day we can’t afford it or if other external factors can’t satisfy us anymore. For example, there are some things that money can’t buy. That kind of desire will always be there and become torture.
“That’s why I don’t think it’s necessary to pursue those things. As long as our lives are comfortable now, that’s enough. We don’t need to waste money. Our current lives don’t make us feel wronged.”
Yigol Novak nodded in agreement: “You’re right. But it’s also a manifestation of a lack of confidence. We’re not trying to deliberately live an extravagant life, but there’s nothing wrong with enjoying life.”
“For example, when we didn’t have money, we ate pork. When we had money, we could eat more lobster. When we have even more money, we can eat even better. The same principle applies to clothing and housing. We just need to not do things beyond our capabilities, and enjoy life appropriately. The main reason for your lack of confidence is that you’re worried that one day we won’t have enough money.”
“You don’t have to worry about that at all. What do you think of your husband’s cooking skills? And his fighting ability? And my hacking skills? Regardless of which skill, I can find a decent job. Of course, things like stocks are unpredictable and the company’s future is uncertain. But cooking and hacking skills will never be outdated.’
“So, honey, can you be more confident now?” Yigol Novak asked.
Suri Drew thought about it and nodded in agreement: “If you put it that way, it doesn’t seem like there’s a problem. Besides, I’m not completely useless. I can work hard with you too.”
Yigol Novak quickly added: “Exactly! So don’t you think it’s fine for us to enjoy life a little? Otherwise, with all the money I have right now, even if we spent it for several generations, we wouldn’t use it all up.. We can’t wait to be seventy or eighty years old and take it to the grave, can we?”
