Absolutely, but maybe that pain will enforce discipline for her children and grandchildren.

Yeah, perhaps we all need to dial back the magical thinking. Boring shit like planning, preparing, sacrificing, foregoing, sharing, and just plain being diligent should probably be staples in life if you want to march toward some facsimile of success (on a boring material level, security level). No judging this particular women, I certainly don't know her journey in life. That being said, for many people who have lived much of their life, tucking a few bucks away in btc at this point probably isn't going to rain lambos down on their future, or change it in any fundamental sense, unless notions like consistency, repetition, focus, and taking responsibility blended into the fabric of their lives. We've all been lied to, we've all been stolen from by rapacious, corrupt assholes for years. Sucks, but that is reality. We need to fight against those demons (and our own personal internals ones) if we are going to rise above, and make a better world.
