I know some legal stuff and a bit about various kinds of industries. Also I have a catalog of about 15 original songs.What skills can you bring to the table?
actually, scratch that, my main thing is marrying up.
Man, I was gonna buy into the Coinbase IPO but the numbers they posted today were staggering. It’s gonna open so much higher, couldn’t they have waited a little longer so I could buy more for less

I think the Buffett example maybe wasn't the best illustration of compounding because it sort of comes off like, "see how much money you can have while you're on your deathbed!" WGAF.And I think the really old, sick person angle applies even before you're really old and sick. Like, I used to dream of traveling the entire world and doing all kinds of crap. But the older I get, the more I'm like, "meh, whatever." I expect this trend to continue and by the time I'm retirement age I'll be fully content watching the birds in my back yard, which is incredibly inexpensive.

I would probably like to travel in retirement but also, I can’t imagine anything worse than renting an RC and traveling the west.
I do think it’s common for young people to save up with the mistaken assumption they’ll have the same desire to travel when they’re older. I also think it’s pretty rare for an older person to wish they traveled a lot when they never did much traveling before.
