Hey mate, hopefully all the scans and tests turn out positive and this time next year, will just be a blip in the grand scheme of things.
I thought the trick to being rich normally starts with being rich to start with as being rich to start with opens more doors for you that are not available to the regular folk.
Regular folk (i.e. me) all want to create a better life and be richer, that's why the Lottery is so popular. Also it seems like every generation wants to get there sooner. My parents were comfortable working till retirement, I would like to retire several years before retirement age, my daughter's generation might want it now. Perhaps this is the reason why your answer to some people about getting rich isn't warmly welcomed.
Personally, crypto will always be a side project and even though I have put in a decent chunk of money into it, it has to be something I am willing to walk away from should it all comes crashing down. That's my mindset about investing, whether it's time or money, you need to be able to let it go. Getting too emotional will mostly get you burned in the long-run.
For now it is okay at least :)
For sure. It is almost a guarantee - unless an idiot with money or very unlucky.
For sure. People want to "be" not get rich. They don't realize that unless winning that lottery, there has to be a progression.
ten years down the track and I wonder if crypto will still be a side hustle?
And yes. Being unattached helps a lot. Don't want too much, don't fear losing a lot.
"Being unattached helps a lot. Don't want too much, don't fear losing a lot." Had to do this in close inverted commas as I have no idea how you all do that line quote thing.
This is actually very true. When you own have to worry about feeding and shelter yourself, your risk profile changes as I can live off white bread and butter (only the good kind tho :D). My family most probably can too, but would I want them to, most definitely not.
Just put a > before the line :)
> like thisI think knowing the "bare minimums" helps us understand that the larger amounts we might desire, aren't that important after all. When I moved to Finland, I realized that I can live in much less space and with much less stuff than I did in Australia. However, I now own a largish (Finnish standards) home, but know I can always go back :)
Thanks for the pro tip.
I like to think I can go back, but when I sit back and ask myself honestly, I have my doubts. We all get accustomed to a certain lifestyle and sometimes going back to something "less", it's not something we do by choice, but by circumstance.
