As long as Capital growth significantly outperforms inflation then your fine, relax and have a beer m8

Well said.

>>1483789

Don't wish your life away anon

The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle seems relevant here.

IRRELEVANT.

Would you rather:
>Be old, parents dead, your best years behind you -- but rich.

or:

>Be old, parents dead, your best years behind you, and poor to boot!

Investing is just as much about minimizing loses as it is making gains.

>I prefer to imagine the 36 years on so in between and all the fucking amazing things which are still going to happen to me before I get too old.

no
at least with tax advantaged accounts holding low cost index funds
the government doesnt get any of those earnings to distribute out to the MIC and single mothers, AND very little goes to the financial services sector

i dont actually care that ill only have the money when I'm old because at least the niggers didn't get it

You can't win unless you inherit/have massive luck (hold tons of Bitcoin before 2012 for example)

Time is everything. Being a bald old guy with money = who fucking cares.

It's such a harsh reality that we have people coping thinking rich good looking kids don't enjoy their wealth because they didn't make it themselves. Jesus fucking christ.

no being bald old guy with money = not living on the streets.

Nicely put. But instead of being sad about it, search "motivation" and listen to some videos.

Time is our most valuable asset but you can only enjoy it if you are in a flow state. Then the passage of time will seem to hasten.

This is a paradox of life: the more fun you have, the more quickly it ends but the more valuable it will be to you.

I read about Bitcoin in early 2011 and was really intrigued by it as I was interested in the politics of currency at the time. I almost bought up a bunch for shits and giggles.

this is so true. if you dont inherit you hage to GAMBLE to win.

hell, you dont even know that you live to be 60yo, many die earlier.

>>1484444
Who said anything about a conventional job?

>>1483754

>not living a good life enjoying your security
>being alone at 60
No one actually does these.

>>1483754
This is exactly why I started lifting, eating healthy, and going on /fit/.

Men who maintain themselves can still enjoy life in their 40s and 50s, even 60s. I know it might take a while for me to be rich, but I want to be in a position to enjoy it.

>>1484437
Jesus man, bitter much?
Ok, I'll get back to thinking about how we're all going to die.

I think of this often. I am a young man by most accounts still, and if my genetics hold out will pass as one for another decade or so, but much of my time whether working or idle is devoted to memories. I remember summer vacations and journeys I made when I was a younger child, all of the fun I had and the enjoyment I felt in the exact moments I crystallized them in my mind. They're all insignificant to anyone else: For example, one of my fondest memories was during a random summer day at a cousin's house, reading a Nintendo Power in their living room just before setting it down and running outside. I can still feel the excitement from that exact moment as I looked at an ad for Harvest Moon on the Gameboy.

I know I'm not alone in my thoughts. Anyone I speak to agrees, they have these pictures in time they would give anything to leap into even if just for awhile. Given the embellishment of the mind I am sure I will think similarly now in another fifteen years. It doesn't stop me from feeling such melancholy though.

>>1486053
Beautiful. I guess the only problem with all this is that instead of enjoying a moment, I'll instead think about what a great memory it will be.

That's why I want to retire early, like really early. If things continue as they are now, I'll be free in 5 years, when I'm 30. I won't be rich or anything, but will have all the time in the world to do whatever I please.
I don't even make that much, combined with gf it's £80k (around 60k after tax). So it's entirely possible to not be a wage slave forever even on a middle class salary.

>>1486053

Let me offer a different perspective.

I have never had fun. I was heavily bullied as a kid and tween; my HS and college years were spent completely alone. After that, I spent a year in hell, also known as mandatory military service. I have no photos at all, and my memories are either terrible or empty. Most people just cannot comprehend why I have almost nothing from my past.

I have nothing to look for in the future either. I'm in a shitty world, and my best chance is to try to minimize suffering. So, I'm working hard to retire at 30, five years from now. At least I'll be free of the rat race and all its demands.

You're afraid of wasting your youth in favor of longterm goals. To solve that dilemma, you need to get to know yourself, truly yourself, the values that will not change, and then weigh the options with those.

First build smth or do smth you love. Women will follow. Fuck, who needs a woman in order to live

OP, thanks for the reminder

>>1484444
nice quads

>>1486947

I hope not, since I don't have a gf. That would mean some serious cognitive dissonance.
