Just saw an Instagram reel that said:
“At some point you become the age that your parents were in your childhood memories, only you don’t feel like an adult, and you realize your parents were still just kids trying to figure it out too”
And that shit just fucked me up.
I learned this from a friend’s father who’s a millionaire.
He said, “When you start making money, don’t rush to buy everything you’ve always wanted. Live at least 30–40% below your means.”
If the money keeps coming at that rate, upgrade your life slowly. Little by little. Let your income become consistent before your lifestyle becomes expensive.
It’s called delayed gratification.
Stability first. Comfort later.
