I actually had a friend say to me, “how much more money do you need?” This dude is childless and lives off his parents lol What he doesn’t understand is this… How much more do I need for me? Nothing. But when you have a family, people depend on you. I have four kids. What if they have four kids? Including my wife that’s 21 people I’m responsible for. What if I’m the only person in the family who ever figures out anything substantial? Looking back that appears to be the case. Everyone before me was some garden variety European peasant. There’s no royalty in my blood. Why would I assume it would be any different going forward? Nah man, it’s me. Just me. I’m the only one. And people are depending on me. How much more money do I need? Enough for everybody.

Does he also believe everything should be free? Like education, health care, etc. I had a similar conversation with a high school friend and free everything is her solution for not having money. So frustrating to talk to people like this.
Agreed. However, your offspring will not be garden peasants. Trust me, since you saw the light, you can show it to (at least some of) them. Although I agree you should do whatever it takes to take care of all of them, I believe most will expand on the wealth you created.
It normally goes like this: first generation does dodge things and builds the wealth, second generation mantains it, thirst generation looses it because they are spoil brads. Education>money.
Building for the generation is such a mind blowing concept for most people with out the magic of Bitcoin in their life. My wife’s grandad was working class and built enough wealth to help get all his 14 grand kids on the property ladder. This was a massive inspiration for me. But the more I worked and looked at my depleating savings etc I realised I hardly had enough for my own retirement let alone kids and grand kids. So when I learnt about bitcoin it was the solution/ticket I needed to hopefully pass something of value down to the future generations. This is why we hodl 💪🏼
Phat stack of sats is worthless. Leaving bitcoin to your kids is the worst disservice you could do. Teach them to make their own. I know its hard but thats how younimpart love, money does not communicate that. ”How much money is enough?” Is always the wrong question. Answer is zero. Instead ask ”how much of a legacy do I want to leave behind?” Read my post about it:

Your #bitcoin stack is worthless.

What’s the point of having a fat stack of sats if the world around you is barren of beauty, freedom, a...
