It gets very philosophical sometimes.

Here is what I find.

It becomes a balancing act.

I do not think you should sacrifice your present for your future.

I think it should be both.

And when I look at my peers, I can tell you I am so glad I started saving young.

Because I have choices and options that a lot of my peers do not.

So the first thing I think is I want to safeguard future me.

And I think what helped me personally was when I took a look at a lot of people that were forced to work that didn't really have a choice in the matter.

I knew I wanted freedom and freedom met prioritizing choices, but I still went on vacations.

And it comes down to prioritizing what's important and ruthlessly eliminating everything else.

Yes.

After a while, you start to see how it begins to compound, how it begins to grow.

So the earlier you start, 100% the better.

Yes, it is great for a medium goal.

Back in the day when I first started, as my children say, in the late 1900s, which is so painful.

The rule of thumb back then used to be money that you needed in five years or more went to a brokerage account and money that you needed in five years or less was recommended for savings.

So historically, it used to be we hit a recession every five to 10 years.

So the thought process was if you threw it into a brokerage account, you did not know which end of

the economy you were going to land on by the time you needed the money.
