Full tank, good playlist, a friend in the passenger seat. Some nights you’re richer than you think.

Wealth, in practice, is having what you need for the thing in front of you. Fuel, music and company is the complete kit for a good night, every item is cheap or free, and a nicer car would not improve it. Most of the time the gap between what you have and what the evening requires is smaller than it feels.

Tonight, before you start wanting something else, name the three things you already have that the plan needs. Then go use them instead of upgrading them. If you want a version of this to keep, drive somewhere with no destination and let the playlist run out.
