It happened to me the other way around when I was younger. I spent a lot of money on bullshit because I didn't know if I was going to die tomorrow and with hindsight that money spent didn't make me any happier.
No, this is not what the book is about.
People who waste money in bullshit aren't the target audience of the book.
This book is written for people who invested a lot of money over the life and should review their accumulation goals.
I believe especially people who focused since early professional life in the FIRE moviment , quite common in my generation, which many people live a very frugal life saving a lot
We still have to be careful not to overly read into a book that might not sufficiently account for needs to make sure that we stacked enough BTC first, and surely if you had been stacking BTC the whole 7 years of your time of being on the forum, then sure it could be true that you have gotten to a point in which you have accumulated enough BTC or more than enough BTC, so then you can start to cash out some of those BTC, yet I have my doubts that you have had been heads down stacking BTC for the past 7 years, yet maybe that is too presumptive of me.
Based on your location, I understand that you likely have not been able to stack
$100 per week of bitcoin over the past 7 years, and even if you had been able to stack $100 per week you would have had invested $36,600 and you would have right around 2.715 BTC. Would that be enough BTC to start to live on it rather than to continue to stack for another cycle or more? I wonder. I am not trying to "I gotcha" on any of this because you are in a better position to know yourself, and surely it is possible that any of us might have been able to outperform a DCA strategy if we had been able to front load our BTC investment, and I can consider a variety of scenarios in which a decent amount of front loading could have had been done in order to result in about a $36,600 budget to have had resulted in more than 2.715 BTC, for example anyone who might have had been able to front-load their investment in a shorter timeline.
I think that this gets to personal, but, I was able to stack more than that per week just through signature campaigns... which used to pay much more than that less than 1-2y ago.
Anyway , I know that many people get troubled with the idea of spending money before they get old. It is worth reading, for sure.
Because hitting your ATH of saving at 75y is certainly a waste of life.
