People spend money buying items they cannot afford to impress people they don’t like…what a society. Give me jeans & t-shirts any day!

Exactly. Opting out of nonsense and buying into a brave new world is worth it…I don’t care if I’m never ā€œreally rich.ā€ But I think that will be hard to avoid over the next 20 years for most of us.

I only regret being so stupid 13 years ago. I wasn’t maximally stupid, but far from smart, when it came to mining bitcoin with my laptop.

Depends what ā€˜being rich’ to you means? To me, I am already rich, rich in love, rich in life and rich in happiness. Materialistic items don’t mean anything to me. But that is just what it means to me, everyone is different. There’s no stupidity either, every situation is a path meant to be traveled šŸ«‚

Bingo. The journey is life. There is no destination.

But I’d literally be a billionaire if I had borrowed $10k from my wife’s folks in July 2010…instead of throwing $20 at this thing called bitcoin & turning on my laptop. This was fairly risky for a resident with 2 kids and almost no free cash…turned out to be the best financial move of my life.

The shoulda woulda coulda is strong sometimes…though disappears instantaneously when I look at my bride and kids…see them and don’t regret a damn thing. Things happen for a reason. PV šŸ¤™
