Very interesting thoughts and image @famunger. That red arrow scares me a bit though, here in the Netherlands we are less accustomed to being in debt. We really like to save, but as you mentioned a bit, there is saving and there is saving. Saving is practically worthless if it is just for the sake of saving.

I used to be someone that would find tens of ways of making money online. But I didn't have real plans to what I would spend that money on. Nowadays luckily I have learning to enjoy life by spending money on the right experiences :-)

In the near future it might be a normal thing for the next generation to always have XX% of their money invested in crypto/blockchain projects, why not? It is exciting and this current hype has learned a lot of people about how money works and investing/speculating works. Bitcoin and other cryptos have helped millions to gain financial literacy, something I think should be part of primary school.

I am very curious about your post about leaving the hamster wheel and opportunities that arise from that. A few months ago I actually did the same thing ;-)
