> 1) financial independence is great, but you could also die tomorrow. Make sure you understand what your most important values and priorities are, and don’t put them off in favor of more future wealth.

So much this. Raised by grandparents here. They have some strong regret how they didn't do certain things when they were young. I've seen it up-close for too long. They're kind of in a "part of your life was a lie" realization as they never challenged their beliefs.

I decided to become a digital nomad and am meeting cool people while sharpening my dating skills (my dating life is quite fun atm, took 6 months to get there - I got rusty after my relationship), while seeing cool cultures and learning languages. Truthfully, work is a welcome break (I work 4 days) to just mellow down the craziness, haha. I'm a normal looking guy, I put a lot of effort towards dating skills (20 hours per week at least, it's a second part-time job really, a fun humbling one, so many rejections, lol, ego dissolution can be achieved through psilocybin or through dating, lol).

So not even death, you might regret how you've lived it. I know I won't regret this. I am living paycheck to paycheck atm, but I have fairly good savings since this is the first time that I'm traveling this much.
