Not 100% on-topic, but thought you might appreciate the lateral thinking...

I donate that stuff. That income above life-sustainment and above lifestyle and comfort and luxury. Still I'm finding there's more and more to spend.

But I don't need it, better to pass it on to communities and creators that I enjoy. Patreon, individual monthly checks automatically sent from my bank, paypal monthly donations, etc... All for artists to create more of their work I enjoy, archives to continue to flourish.

Maybe try that?

Why suggest donation? It's an infinitely large set of buckets to put money into.



This is really poor advice, focused entirely on the short term, which is something the OP wants to avoid doing.


No, this is long term advice.

Regular donations decrease the overall wealth removing the drag of lifestyle creep.


You're very generous.
