How do you restrain yourself from spending your money?
I'm thinking of buying a nice car but then I look at compound interest tables, figuratively, and Bitcoin projections literally, and feel really bad. So I'll keep driving my econobox and wear $20 pants despite just having crosses 6 figures in the bank.
There should be a Church of Business where the preacher reminds you of compound interest every Sunday, and where you confess dirty thoughts and violations of the frugal code.
How do you motivate yourself to not spend?

Easy, read every now and then famous investors' way of living from time to time. Warren Buffet lived like a middle-class person until he was a billionaire.
the real problem is my girlfriend always wanting to go abroad or to get jewelry/clothes. She was born rich and doesn't understand the way capital gains are much more efficient than work gains.

Don't care about anything except peoples and freedom.
