I used to make 100k at a job that I knew I wouldn’t be physically able to do in my 40s and 50s. Conventional wisdom says save it, build a big nest egg, plan for the future. Fuck that, I ate and drank and traveled it all away. 41 years old now making 30k. I’ve been everywhere, done everything I ever wanted. No regrets.
