Playing with fire in this one lol. I get it though, I’ve had some serious conversations with my wife about all this internet money, starting a bit after bitcoin started to break out and shoot up. I too had ample opportunity to buy 2 or 3 bitcoin but didn’t want to pull the trigger out of my own fear of spending that kind of money. That hindsight comment I made earlier… ya 20-20 (coincidence that it also applies to that year? Lol)
I started to go into more detail on some of the investments and things I’ve done with the money I accumulated on my own (entirely separate from our joint accounts so she wouldn’t get mad if it all went to shit hahaha) and it was a mixed bag but still better than I hoped. Now she asks every so often about the stuff and how things are going, some other small pieces of info so I’m appreciative that she’s taking an interest. I don’t push the envelope though and ask to risk big chunks of our life savings at this stage lol even if things moon, the days of 3k bitcoin are long gone sadly.
I think it is necessary to take an interest. For me at least, this is a pretty big part of my life that soaks up time and energy, plus it has the potential to fundamentally change our financial position - isn't that interesting enough? I think it should be far more interesting than most other things that we all might be spending our time on.
It is only sad looking back - if it was to drop back there in a year or two, most people wouldn't buy again. What if it goes to 2000?
