Time horizon matters though. Agree bitcoin gets to $2M but if it takes 15 years you may regret not taking the $5k vacation while your kids were young. Everything is a balancing act

Kids don’t need or want 5k vacations. Camping in the woods roasting marshmallows is a million times more valuable to them.
I took my kids to Italy and it was a fantastic family vacation that they still talk about though years have passed. Agree not a necessity but it was money well spent for me
I think what they valued was spending time with you bro and being together as a family. That said I’m sure Italy is a nice backdrop if someone can afford it, but not a necessity.
I agree - not a necessity for all to go to Italy or drop $5k on a vacation. You should spend carefully and save wherever you can - in bitcoin. Just don’t deny yourself all of life’s pleasures because bitcoin going to $2M might take longer than we hope.
For the most part I agree with you. A humble childhood like you’re describing is what I experienced and it was wonderful.
Can confirm the kid loves burning marshmallows over a campfire!
fishing is an easy one. we had a snail race the day. it was great. he even told me about snails in his dreams the next day. so cute.
