Personally I do want an exit strategy and I don’t see myself doing this full time forever because like you said it’s mentally draining and can take over your life if you’re not careful also for me the goal is a mix of financial freedom and time freedom. I'd like to reach a point where I have enough to pay off everything invest into some income generating assets like real estate and maybe fund something creative like a small studio or startup. Not aiming for a mansion or yacht just a calm life where I don’t have to stress over money but yeah I’ve definitely had that same experience seeing numbers go up and suddenly thinking maybe I can squeeze out more and then the crash wipes half of it
