I had a situation when I graduated from college, I got accepted into a pretty decently paying job, and it was around 5x what I had been being paid earlier (before graduating), and then the next year after starting that higher paying job, my income went up 50% and then for each of the following couple of years, my income went up 50% for each of those two years too. And so really my income was way more than I needed to live (perhaps around 6x greater after a few years, since sometimes consumption might also go up when income goes up, even though the consumption portion does have optional portions), and I was not even close to the top of the earners, since i had several of my classmates who started out right after college at right around the same income that I had gotten after 3 years out of college, and they likely doubled their incomes within 1-2 years out of college. I ONLY worked in those high paying positions for around 15 years, even though other people likely are ready and able to work in those high paying positions for way longer than I was able to do.
There can be some amazing promotional opportunities that come from landing high paying jobs or even getting into a business that ends up being profitable.. and some guys might ONLY be able to get into those higher paying positions with the investment of time (getting skills, education and/or connections) and/or investing capital (that could take away from their bitcoin investment in their earlier years of earning). So, if a guy is able to greatly increase his income, then some benefits in investing the money rather than immediately increasing the standard of living (and/or consumption) can really pay off in the long run..
Accordingly, a guy could build up his investment holdings while he is earning good money, so that if anything happen to his high paying job, he is still in a good financial situation based on his having had used a good portion of his extra pay to invest into bitcoin rather than consume.. and I am not even against some reasonable levels of consumption, even though sometimes the consumption will go quite a bit overboard with some people... even though surely they have the right to choose what to do with their income..
Sometimes guys might have had gotten into decently well paying positions when they were younger (and even their business might start to earn them good money after they build it for a while), yet when they are older in life, they may find themselves in poverty or even in lower standard of living situations, due to their own failures to sufficiently prepare themselves for later in life when they are no longer ready, willing and able to work and/or maybe their business might have had issues in terms of its profitability changing or diminishing, too.
So, sometimes there can be value to put money into areas that will generate income, yet there is also value in building up investments (such as bitcoin) that are likely able generate income when the guy might not be inclined to do any labor beyond maybe just the accounting aspects of keeping track of his coin balances and/or his spending.
You are very well on point and sure I largely agree with you sir...Coz I tend to have really noticed how shortsighted some folks tend to be especially after their income increases... Immediately after an increase in income, adjusting their lifestyle upward even way beyond their income just to feel among their pair is immediately considered the top priority of some folks... And then they very well begin spending money on irrelevant expenses and before we know it, that income that once look big in the eyes of that person, is later considered as insufficient.. And that's why increased income shouldnt always result in an immediate increased and/or expensive standard of living...
The truth always remain high earnings dosen't always get to be permanent for most folks and that why it is very risky when folks solely depend on that same income overtime without making any investment that could very well grow their money and also place them in a much more better position... Apart from that, folks could even get old and sick or their income may even be reduce later and if folks didn't prioritize security by the way of investment in an asset like Bitcoin for example, then it may just be way more harder to build gradually at the later years of ones life when one must have been old and stricken in age without any means to having a discretionary income...
