I see it as a matter of raising my standards. If I was a millionaire and only had $50 in my wallet, it wouldn't feel right to me. Ask a millionaire if $50 is a lot of money. $50 is nothing -- it's a piece of paper.

The issue for me was getting comfortable with carrying more cash and having more money in the bank. At first it felt uncomfortable to carry $200 all the time. It's not that having "only" $200 makes me feel broke -- it's more of an internal signal that I need to go to the ATM. It's just like if your car is getting low on fuel and you need to refill the tank.

Think about how you feel about a $1 bill. Get yourself to feel the same way about $100 bill, and you'll get a sense of what it would be like to have 100x as much money.

I learned that I'm able to earn and keep an amount of money I feel comfortable with. A year ago $100,000 seemed like a lot of money to have in cash. Now it feels normal to have that much. $1 million still feels like a very large sum, so I know that in order to get there, I have to reach the point where I can think of it as normal.
