fantastic post. Too add. Health is the most valuable of all. We realize that the rest was always noise once it fails.
There's plenty of rags to riches and back to rags again stories. Sounds like you had a bit of luck on your way. Nothing wrong with that. If you've had good luck, you can have bad luck, too. The only place your money is really safe is a place where you can't risk it. Keep it out of harms way.

preach it - i find you can do one of the two fantastic but you can't do both. you either make money or conserve it - neither can be done in unison.
What he said makes sense if you have a horrible life, full of stress from a shit job. But if you live like I do drinking juices under the sun with zero stress everyday, you want fuck loads of money. The more the better.
Juices are cheap and the sun is free. I don't deny money help, I wouldn't be here. But if there are health issues that money can't fix, or one lives in a war torn country, there is stress. Being stress free implies a few things that are more important than money.

I have different mindset, have 2 accounts, one is monies I need till am 100yo. The other that will be donated, balls to the wall, increased volume this year, systems that do the best are traded, if possible, every month increase size.
