If you work hard and save when you’re young, you can coast when you get older. That is when your peers will just begin to start realizing life isn’t one big party. At that point, the gap will be so big that it doesn’t matter how hard they work, how much they sacrifice, they still will never close the gap even if you just coast from there. That’s why these pigeons hate the eagles. They don’t fly at the same level

99% of ppl will not do this. Sacrifice is a foreign word to western commies
The funny part is how they look at your life like it’s a easy, when they were out partying as a bartender when you were grinding at a real job lol
Can confirm. I was one that did not save when young. I partied too much. Realized my mistake in my 30's.
Not a pigeon tho. More of a chicken hawk. Instead of hating on eagles I'm still trying to become one. But you realize it will take you into old age to even come close...no matter how early you were to Bitcoin.
Owning our actions is key. Bitcoin is also a cheat code
I will have peers that didn’t sacrifice, didn’t save, spent tons of money they don’t have (debt), and then be like oh rand0 must be nice! Like bro, I didn’t forget the lavish lifestyle you were projecting on ig, traveling the world like a big shot lol. The larping came at a large opportunity cost
I have peers in my ragamuffin group that will have that same outlook. One thing that saved me was never being in debt. I got to travel and play music and start over ALOT.
Yeah that’s key. Freedom is the goal not necessarily just money either lol like I saw how my bosses lived, connected to their phones 24/7 and I was like naw that’s not for me.
Reminds me of this story by Kobe. A true master of hard work.
Mamba mentality everyday
To be fair, the current system is so rigged it's bloody hard to retain real wealth, let alone accumulate & grow it. It makes you pretty nialistic & prone to YOLO thinking.
Before bitcoin, my strategy was simply to pay my mortgage off & become as resilient as I could. It was flawed but it meant I had equity to deploy once I got deep into Bitcoin. I'm a much more diligent saver for having better understood the bitcoin opportunity.
My boomer father in law who pissed his money away on booze & gambling, likes to mock my goal of retiring this decade. All he sees is the frugal way we currently live & it doesn't compute for him. It makes me laugh.
All the pigeons agree
