About the same age here. The way i figure it ... i probably don't have much more than twenty years left. For all i know it could be a whole lot less. You can always make more money but you can't make more time.
It makes the most sense to spend what time you do have left wisely.
When i'm on the job it's about making money so the sensible choice is to do the thing that pays the most.
When i'm off the job it's about doing the things that i find enjoyment in and living life to the fullest. Scrapping for me is just a hobby. The pay is pitiful but it's fun and relaxing and i learn new things all the time.
What value can you put on gaining new knowledge and more skills ? I dunno ... sometimes it pays off and sometimes it doesn't.
When you look at the debt clock it's plain to see there's a problem. JMHO but i think the folks running the show have lost their minds to think that what they're doing will ever work. No doubt, it will all work out just the way it's supposed to.
There's no point in worrying about things that well beyond your control. If it all goes sideways then it all goes sideways.
Life goes on.
