Many people saying 'live for the now', which is totally valid, but there's an alternative as well, which is the path I followed - devise a concrete economic plan for your life (5 year plan, 3 year plan, etc), and track ALL your spending until you have a strong grasp on how you like to spend your cash.

It's hard to make more money, so do everything you can to reduce spending in your life. No only will you increase how much can put away, but you'll need less to sustain yourself when you reduce how much you earn, due to the cultivation of a spendthrift life.

Don't worry, our overlords are planning for us to benefit from their anti-aging research too! When they turn us into servitors.

These days, mostly panicking about getting everything on the bucket list set up. I've let too much just fly by already.

TLDW: You have to change your mindset. Do not accept the default, be mindful and self-aware.

It's never too early to do that thing you always wanted to do. Sure, you only get 5000 weeks at most, but that's plenty if you make good use of them.

It took me until my early 30s before I realized this. It's time to begin. Let's do this!

(Next year I am going to go travelling to Paris and likely Amsterdam too)

This shit really gets to me but not in a way you might expect.

I'm extremely content in life. It amazes me there are so many of you that just aren't happy existing. Every day is what you make of it and if you live life as glass half full no amount of milestones is going to fill it.

There is something to be said about simplicity. It can be as little as appreciating the sun on your face but you need to be open to appreciate it.

Life only has meaning when you give it meaning and the longer you hold off doing that then empty you shall remain.

bro i hate this type of shit, when you are a kid you are not doing school work all of the time, and when you are an adult you are not working all of the time - yes you will always have responsibilities but that is a part of your life

It's part of the reason I'm a transhumanist.
