I'm not doing anything different now than when I had no money.
For better or worse, investing hasn't been difficult for me. If I went broke, I would know how to make it all back.
I recognized that I was a bad entrepreneur when I was young so I stayed away from that. It was a lot of work. Instead, I was better at identifying good businesses so I just focused on that - and road the coattails of others. I didn't make as much money as the entrepreneur, but the benefit was that I didn't have to work hard.
I don't have any emotion tied to money. Money just "is". If I do certain things, money comes in. If I do other things, money goes out.
Speaking for myself, deals don't "get bigger" just because I want them to. Deals get bigger because I just have more money coming in. When I started in the mid 90s $1000 was a big deal for me.
I "made it" in my early 30s (I'm still in my 30s), but I don't work hard at all. Most of the work is done by the assets I own. I do relatively little.
I had more "toys" when I was younger, but I don't have many now because I don't find them as fulfilling as I used to I suppose...
