I posted something a few weeks ago that touched on this, but this is a better explanation.
Too many times I spent my last $5 on a pack of smokes when I should have put it aside, especially since the emergence of cryptocurrency.If I had skipped cigarettes just one day a week and bought btc with that money I’d be so obscenely wealthy right now I’d never want for anything again.
But I didn’t because I deserved whatever I happened to want in the moment I was in, and I still struggle with it, but I’m learning.
I believe I have this community to thank for it, particularly Splinterlands, oddly enough.
Seeing cards now selling for 5x, 10x, or more than what I sold them for has been one of the most eye opening experiences of my life. Now I sit on everything and watch my wealth grow and it’s beginning to carry over into other aspects of life.
Do I need a new tv? I only watch a couple of programs and usually binge at the end of the season so why do I need to drop hundreds on something I get minimal use of?
The truth of the matter is all of my free money has gone to shit I didn’t need and I’m worse off for it. Now, things are different. I’m patient, calculating, and hungry to do better.
Being here, and getting steeped in different perspectives has open doors I never even knew where there and this is just the beginning!
Ah you know your experience is similar to mine. If I had quit sooner and saved all of that money I'd have a Lambo by now!
Lol. You know, I outgrew wanting a Lamborghini when I was young because it seems selfish to spend that kind of money on a car/status symbol but after years of trying to get people to check out cryptocurrency, and failing, I want a fleet of them now just to be a dick. 🤣
