in the 1920s, as a young writer, F. Scott Fitzgerald earned an extraordinary income from short stories alone: $386,000 which is the equivalent of $8 million in 2026. to say that Fitzgerald "idolized" the rich is somewhat naive. his income placed him in the upper 1% of his time. unfortunately, Fitzgerald & his wife Zelda spent literally all of this money. it is harder to believe that they spent this fortune than to believe that Fitzgerald ever earned it with slick commercial stories that, today, are scarcely readable. (Fitzgerald took novels more seriously & was writing for posterity; ironically, the later novels were too subtly imagined for commercial success.)

I had a buddy in college (prone to tall tales) who told me that there were secret sensors embedded in the pavement and if you didn’t pull your car up far enough the light wouldn’t turn green. He was right?? All these years I thought it was just a fantastic tale he told me.
