I haven't shared a lot of financial thoughts, and the real reason is:
1. I haven't been following much
2. This price action has surprised me

I'm starting to believe the attention span every crisis in the news cycle gets, so it does in markets. As in, we move on so quickly even when the problem isn't solved.

This may catch up with us, but you don't fight the trend. The biggest problem I've had post-taking money off the table is what do I do with all the cash? Wealth is actually something that's hard to emotionally wrap your head around at times. Going from a grind to financial freedom is weird and scary in a way?

Suddenly you have all this time that's unstructured. I found there's a fear I have to "losing it all" - even though I've been really conservative about saving. You end up confronting a lot of physiological things about yourself because you suddenly have time to do so. You're not in survival mode anymore.

Now, the cash problem is real. I've had the goal to make $300,000 a year passively with what's been taken off the table. I have one account that's really conservative (think HYS and CD) and then another large market account that I never touch (2 year change is 800k+).

But also, should I live more conservatively and increase charitable donations? I don't want to be one of those assholes who just hoards wealth and doesn't help others?

Anyway, all this to say if this cycle leaves you rich but you suddenly find yourself struggling with this kind of stuff I get it.

With crypto, it's hard to not "if I hadn't sold" as new all time highs are hit and you have to grapple with "enough". And if you do it right, suddenly there's an accumulation factor that's hard to wrap your head around.

20k/month on rent? That's crazy! Wait...I could totally do that and it won't make a dent? Oh.
