I was like saving too much.

I was borrowing from my poor self to give to my future richer self, which did not make any sense, right?

And then I went from the, I'm gonna party and going crazy and I'm spending every single nickel I made, right?

To creating future instability for myself by not saving.

And now, so for each person,

their career path, their earnings potential, et cetera, that will be different.

But the thing is to get off autopilot and be thinking about it.

Right.

So people will have other experts, like a financial planner.

A lot of times the financial planners are about, let's maximize the money.

Be like, that's not the ultimate goal.

The goal is to maximize fulfillment.

And so they will keep you safe and maybe you'll save a certain amount of money, but you're the driver.

You're responsible for your own life.

And so if you want to be intentional and get the most out of your entire life and each time period, you have to think about, okay,

Is backpacking now through Europe?

Is this the period to be backpacking tonight?

Or is it 20, 30 years from now?

Is this a trip or an experience or a charitable thing that I need to be doing now?

Or is this something that I need to be doing later in my life?
