In essence, to create wealth in the future we have to work extra hard and dare to get out of our comfort zone. Moreover, as you said, in the internet era there are many ways to earn additional income which we can then invest in crypto assets and physical assets. So nothing happens instantly, even if something happens instantly, very few people have that kind of luck.
Yes, we must always work hard to make our future better and we can enjoy old age without having to think about finances. We have to prepare for this starting now and it requires sacrifice. Some people, especially young people prefer to spend their income in a short time. They are actually very capable of investing and such, but they don't realize the importance of investment.
They get a salary every month, but they choose to go on a spending spree. However, when they start to realize what they have been doing wrong, I am sure they will start to regret not investing, even though the opportunity is very open to them.
Many people think that life is only once and it needs to be enjoyed so they only focus on the fun that they think needs to be done because they think money can be made back when they look for it.
While i don't have a problem with that kind of thinking, at the end of the day, its an inappropriate situation to be in.
Now that I'm older, I do have some regrets about living a hedonistic lifestyle when I was younger, even though I didn't need to because it was an experience that made me think more clearly now, but if I could do it all over again, i would definitely prepare my life better, especially in terms of the economy.
Youth is sometimes difficult to control yourself especially in lifestyle and money management so for those who are still not too late because they are still young enough, don't waste your youth to be more productive.
It does not mean that we should not enjoy our youth but do it as needed because we also have to aim for the future so that we can be guaranteed later.
