Worth mentioning: my desires on what to optimize for have waxed and waned over the years.
Is it work that got more interesting, so you don't mind doing more of it, or you found new uses for money you didn't think were important before, or something else entirely?
(Feel free to ignore.)
I wouldn't primarily credit attitudes about or desires for money with any of this, though my personal burn rate is much higher now than it was in 2010. (I got married, had two kids, and moved to Tokyo; this makes ~$10k spend like ~$2k used to.)
