Another one he forgot: you can use Rich Guy solutions to problems that wouldn't normally be available.
Hiring a personal assistant, maid service, hiring people to do work for you directly, having a lawyer on retainer, that sort of thing. (Now I know why rich people are always threatening to sue.) Chartering jets, too.
My favorite Rich Guy solution: Throw away all your mismatched socks, buy all identical tube socks from Walmart, and never spend time pairing your socks again. This actually only costs like $30.
Yeah, a bunch of those are very much accessible to middle-class people. I think I stopped worrying about mismatched socks and just went all-white when I was around 6. A bunch of Googlers (even ordinary SWEs hired post-IPO) use maid services, because their time is worth more than the money it costs to hire them. A few even frequent outsourcing websites for personal-assistant sort of things like researching major purchases.
everyone underestimates cleaning service, laundry service, grocery service, and disposable flatware in freeing your life of stress. and all much cheaper than most realize.
