I agree with this post. Especially the part about working so hard to build a life that you forget how to live it. And I think basically everyone on CT can relate to this: "The irony is that every time I reach a milestone I once dreamed of, the goalpost just moves further. What once felt like more than enough suddenly doesn't feel like enough anymore." You might have doubled your portfolio, but someone you follow did a 20x. Suddenly, the result you would have celebrated hard AF a year ago feels like you're behind. It's wild because IRL I feel like I've won the lottery, but then I log in here and feel that I'm quite average again. This can be both good and bad, though. Good because it pushes you to the limit. Bad because no number is high enough. Which means I am actually a part of another hamster wheel. I escaped the 9-5, but I replaced it with a market that runs 24/7. With that said, I am truly blessed to be here, and I wouldn't have it any other way.
