What Does Bill Perkins Spend His Money on?

Bill Perkins says he has not stopped working, and he would not quit just to look finished with money. He still likes the puzzles. He has two startups and he still trades. SkyFi is a geospatial platform, which he compares to Uber for satellites, where a satellite image can be ordered on a phone. SimMax is an intelligence firm. He also still runs the hedge fund. He would quit immediately if another dollar added no fulfillment. For him, the next dollar still buys a life he wants.

The spending that still justifies the work is not the later farming years, which he expects will cost less. He fell in love with yachting, which is very expensive, and with private travel, which saves time and starts the trip when he boards the plane. He is close to the age where giving up hours now, so a future version of himself can keep that spending, stops being worth it. He could lose money or make a lot, so he keeps measuring the trade. Someone whose idea of enough is checkers, a garden, and school is wasting life by chasing more. That is a different decision from his.
