What do you like to spend your Money on ?

[Isaac Jordan]

I agree that too many people focus on saving and being lane while not enjoying their 20s

I think there exists a kind of paradox on the forum: on the one hand what you say in the above (enjoying 20s), and at the other hand the desire to not be a slave in the 30s (so gotta work in 20s)

It's a complicated paradox. Or does it represent opinions that are too different?

This topic has been done to death, but this seems like a false dichotomy. I know 20s/30s are prime time for chasing snatch, but I've never understood the massive discounting of one's 40s/50s/60s (and nowadays 70s/80s as well, what with current health knowledge and medical technologies).

Sure, you could get hit by a bus tomorrow. Life is short and unpredictable, you gotta live in the moment, I get it. But if you're in the "live your 20s like a pauper so you can enjoy your 30s like a prince" camp, you really ought to be extending that way past your 30s.

If you dedicate your 20s to stacking paper (say, 80% of free time/money/energy goes towards $$$, with the other 20% going towards women, which is about what I'm doing), there's really no reason you couldn't set yourself up for life. Whether it's running your own business, starting a few and selling them, or investing in a solid portfolio, if you're going to sacrifice such a large chunk of such an important decade, you really ought to make it last the rest of your life.

The question shouldn't be, "Is it worth sacrificing your 20s to enjoy your 30s?" it's "Is it worth sacrificing your 20s to set yourself up for life?"

Definitely worth it. I asked myself this question 2 years ago. I sacrificed a LOT of time when I was 24, and by the time I was 25 I figured out how to make internet money. I "sacrificed" that year when I was 24 (which was hardly even a sacrifice really), and I've been enjoying my 20's pretty nicely ever since.

Don't be lazy and stop making excuses. Get money, even if you have to choke a few bitches in order to get it... or just die wondering what could have happened.

Just blew some money today on a new pistol. Springfield Armory XD .45. I don't spend money on anything other than gas and food so I thought I'd treat myself to this. It will stay with me the rest of my life so I think its worth the investment.
