Eveyone has their own dance with this paradox.
A - Live for today, be present in the eternal now.
B - Save for tomorrow, hold something back, give future you a leg up.

All bitcoiners talk about opportunity cost, eating noodles and keeping your old underwear to stack more. I did this. I'm seven years in now and stacked as hard as I possibly could, left nothing on the table. But recently I've hit a limit. It feels like that scarcity mindset stage has reached it's useful conclusion. I'll still sweep excess into corn but the absolute focus on stacking is done for me. The longer you stack the less difference it makes and this alters your priorities. Life has opportunity cost too, no matter how much corn you end up with, you can't go back in time with it. I'm starting to spend on what I value not just what I need. I think once you've done the work and made the sacrifices for your stack, think hard about what comes next.
