While in NYC, AviBurra (npub1hqa…t56s) asked me if I agreed that while 10 years older and entering middle age, if 40 was still much better than 30. And I agree with him.
At 30, I only had a 6 month old son, and was struggling to pay my mortgage. At 40, I now had 2 kids and a much better life thanks to 10 years of growth - physical, mental, and wealth. Sure, at 30 I could party a bit harder and my back didn't hurt as often as it does now, but those things don't truly matter. My life is vastly better now compared to 10 years ago.
The point of this is to lower your time preference. Good things come to those that wait. Good things come to those that work hard and strive to improve their lives.
On a related note, I didn't get into Bitcoin until late 2020. So, I can't thank Bitcoin for my life improvements. However, I truly believe that Bitcoin is a cheat code that people have available to them today. Take advantage of it.
