Perhaps I had largely been thinking about some of the seafaring ideas to be a bit fantasy and unrealistic... .. so then sometimes we also end up getting to know a good number of personal details that maybe would be better NOT to be known.


I was tentatively planning to take my "friend" to a Japanese restaurant, and so we drove a little bit out of the way, and we even had some preliminary preparations, so then when we arrived at the restaurant, we were personally told by folks who were there (doing some kind of private activities that was not quite convincing that they were not open).. The guy explained that that they were not open, but that they were open on other days.. .and so today was actually one of their actually regularly scheduled days off.

We were sort of trying to figure out the situation, including which day that we might come back.. perhaps in the coming week.

We also were discussing whether we should go to another restaurant or just return to the house.  Based on our already spending of a lot of time out and about, and that we would likely have to travel out of our way if we were to go to another restaurant.  My choice was to return to the house, and my friend said that I was going to have to cook for myself (like a kinds of going on strike). 

I said o.k. whatever in a kind of irritated tone.  I figured that I had various options... so it wasn't like I was going to starve.

Maybe about an hour after returning home, I saw various activities in the kitchen and I even saw that at least one packet of Ramyen was involved in the process.  I had gotten involved in other (non-eating) things, so I was not really paying attention... so by the time I was ready to eat, I saw that there were Ramyen then various meats that had been added.. but not enough for my satisfaction.. and so I searched through the Fridge to find some other meats to add, and so in the end, it was not bad, even though yeah, it ended up being some variation of Ramyen.


From my perspective, no reason to get greedy. 

Even 20 BTC at 40 would be pretty damned close to being able to retire... especially since currently 20 BTC could produce a passive income of $97.5k per year, and sure guys may well want some kind of additional cushion in there.. but it seems to be plenty to work with by having a mere 20 BTC for a guy who is merely 40 years old.

Even withdrawing from the BTC stash at a rate of $70k per year would allow the nearly $30k per year that is not withdrawn to roll over and compound upon itself. 

To me, it seems that even with 20 BTC at 40 years old, there would be plenty of ability to grow if the guy were to choose to only start to withdraw $70k per year or even less.. perhaps.. , and the guy might even be able to increase his income 10% per year from whatever sub $100k per year starting point that he were to choose to deploy.. .which surely does not seem to be a bad place to be, especially for a perpetual and mostly passive (aside from any accounting burdens that might exist).


I don't know.  Maybe because you are special?
