The Rules
Posts must be:

...what's the point of becoming a millionaire when I no longer have the same energy as I used to when I could still enjoy things?
Because you're still going to want to live and do shit when you're older. And you'll pay for it in the future with what you do now.
Unless I die tomorrow and never get to use all the money I suffered for now to use later.
Don’t get me wrong, it’s a balancing act. But there’s no promise I’ll even make it to retirement. So I’m going to enjoy my now, just in case.
I thought like that in my 20s.
