someone younger might come up with his original sentence.

It happens to be one of my personal favorites. I hope Jim has had his first private jet ride in the last 10 years.

“My observation is that there are only a few key points at which incremental
wealth lets you cross a line into a new level of actual happiness.

- The obvious steps: enough food, shelter, and have-to-be-paid-for health&safety things for you and your family:
The levels beyond which many studies say there is little correlation between wealth and happiness.
- The point at which you have enough money to give meaningful amounts away
- The point at which you can quit your day job if you like
- The point at which you always fly business class when you fly
- The point at which you can fly on private jets as a matter of course

There are no doubt other ones beyond those, but I have yet to have my first private jet ride.
One step at a time.

The list sounds crassly materialistic, but the real point is that I've spotted among
my acquaintances few tiers of wealth that turn more money into more happiness other than those.
Think of the millions of things that *aren't* on the list.
