Something to mull over. For those of you who only think about the financial aspects of RE.
When I was young - 20's - I never thought I in terms of how much money I would have at what age.
Now that I am 51 with a net worth of $1.6m I still don't feel like I have a lot of money. Or maybe it isn't that I don't feel as if I have alot of money. Maybe it is that ...?
I grew up poor and worked since I was 15 - worked for and paid for everything I have - no debt. Although I didn't live during the Great Depression I think others would say I live like I did.
It is as if I won the race but the challenge/enjoyment was in running the race.
Thoughts?
