Measure your life in decades.
Do your future self favors. Don’t spend, lock it up.
Keep building and growing, be ambitious, yet recognize there is a cycle and you will burn out.
You will be at your prime when you are 35 (if you take proper care of yourself.) you will be old some time after 50, and probably dead (or not much better off) by 100.
The problem most have (unaware to themselves) is not that they don’t live long enough, it is that they are a waste of what life they have.
- eddy_chan 4y agoMan that is so true about 35. I would say it's not about your prime but more about the fact it is the point where you have gained enough experience/wisdom but still retain enough risk tolerance that you can make big decisions about life and career that pay off in the long term. At 40 I'm a bit more defensive than I was at 35. I could not bootstrap 2 startups concurrently again today, 35 was the last time I could do that. Physical prime happened somewhere early 30s, mental prime is still probably ahead of me.
