Loved this (and glad you didn't break it up into many posts.) It seems like it takes time to detox the desire to "achieve" even when removed from traditional work. And maybe successful people are most generous with their time because they have become able to measure success beyond immediate output and feel this pressure to a lesser degree?

"successful" was determined by my judgement but also objective measures too like their job title and I can probably guess their income. in any case, I think successful people also have a sense of freedom with how they spend their time. An unsuccessful might be very rich but if they don't have control over their time, then I'd consider that not so great.
Staying to a budget in NYC is hard, living right next to Costco helps and also I don't really eat out or go out that often. I still very much value the energy and the ability to meet so many people tho

Also -- would be interested to hear in future posts how you keep your budget so low. $3K in NY...impressive!
