You Saved for 26 Years. Then You Bought a $3,900 Watch.

Thirty-one days ago you closed the tab. Today the watch is on your wrist, and
you have been sitting in your car in the parking lot for eleven minutes waiting
to feel something.

You are fifty-two. You have two point four million dollars. You just bought the
one object you allowed yourself to want for two years, and what you feel is
roughly what you'd feel about a new toothbrush.

Nobody warns you about this part. They warn you about debt, about the market,
about the layoff at fifty-four. Nobody warns you about the part where you finally
spend the money and discover the muscle doesn't work anymore.

This is twenty-six years of saying no, the nineteen-year-old in a Buick who
decided it, and the hundred and forty dollars four months later that finally
landed.
