207 | That Person Doesn’t Exist

"If only I'd bought ________ in 20__*, then I could kickback today."

"Buying and riding" isn't a thing like "kicking back with your feet up".

If you stay on the ride, you're dancing with ruin on the daily.

And if you get off the ride, you'll second guess all the upside you left on the table until the end of time.

Neither sounds much like "kicking back".

At some point, you have to decide if you're investing to live life or living life to invest.
