Salary isn’t just ‘my money.’ It’s money that should be spent considering yourself today, your future self in 10 years, and your future self in 20 years—that is, your future self together. Therefore, my current income is always, in a way, public money. We need to get approval from our future self before spending now. A bright future is only guaranteed if the future self agrees to the spending. It’s inconvenient to spend other people’s money on your own terms, and thinking of your own money the same way you see others’ cherished money will help you develop good habits for the future. I don’t have an exclusive claim to my own money, as if there’s no such thing as my own air in this world. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
Originally, the Louis Vuitton suitcase had no wheels. The ancient journey was the exclusive possession of the nobility and the rich. It was hard to go alone because there was a lot of luggage to travel with, so it was usually possible for people who could handle servants. Therefore, there was no need for wheels in the bag then. Popularized travel is a product of the late 20th century. When we look at the wheel of a suitcase, we have to be able to look at history and class together. And we should be able to see the essence of luxury goods. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
