My work mate was bragging about how she’s ’done everything right’ by midlife:
*working hard
*saving in dollars
*purchasing multiple homes
*owning 5 cars
It made me reflect that she followed the boomers example, the ones her parents set.
And that makes sense to me because I’ve watched many of my friends and work colleagues over the decades put their heads down and get stuck into work, saving, and then the holy grail of getting a mortgage debt.
It was what I always wished I cld do, yet my heart was just never into work as my priority.
As a result, I’ve never been as financially well off as those who have followed in the footsteps of the majority of boomers - work your entire life, then retire.
It feels odd listening to my colleague tell me with great pride that she has done the best with her life because of these specific achievements…when I’ve been turning my back on all of them.
I wonder how #Bitcoin will change how she feels in 5 or 10 years, if at all?
