Enjoy Yourself - It’s Later Than You Think

Money never sleeps, but take some time to clock out of the investing world ...

“Time” is a big talking point for us. Use it well, and you’ll have a rich and personally fulfilling life.

Use it poorly, and you get left behind.

Trouble is, most folks don’t really understand time … or think about it the right way.

Sahil Bloom, an entrepreneur and creator of the Curiosity Chronicle, is using a “show-versus-tell” device to fix that problem.

Instead of thinking about how many years you’ve got left, Bloom urges us to think of our lifespans in terms of weeks.

And the older you get, the fewer you have.

• At 25: Living until 90 leaves you with 3,389 weeks left.

• At 35: Living until 90 leaves you with 2,867 weeks left. 

• At 45: Living until 90 leaves you with 2,346 weeks left.

• At 55: Living until 90 leaves you with 1,825 weeks left.

• At 65: Living until 90 leaves you with 1,303 weeks left.

Bloom broke it down visually … in the chart that follows.

Bloom says we all need to do this “depressing math.”

Not to depress ourselves … but rather to motivate ourselves – to use that time wisely.

“Spend more time doing things you never regret with those you hold dear,” Bloom said. “That is the recipe for a life well lived.”

Well said.

And Bloom ties it all together with the “get-your-butt-into-gear" lyrics from the late North American band leader Guy Lombardo, who became an American icon for hosting New Year’s broadcasts on CBS for 48 years in a row.

Continuing his “show-versus-tell” storyline, Bloom grabbed some lyrics from the Lombardo single: “Enjoy Yourself, It’s Later Than You Think.”

You work and work for years and years, you're always on the go
You never take a minute off, too busy makin' dough
Someday you say, you'll have your fun, when you're a millionaire
Imagine all the fun you'll have in your old rockin' chair

Enjoy yourself, it's later than you think
Enjoy yourself, while you're still in the pink
The years go by, as quickly as a wink
Enjoy yourself, enjoy yourself, it's later than you think

Be sure to tune in here next week: We’ve got Bitcoin (BTC) price predictions for this year and 2025 … and it’s higher than you think.

But this weekend, do something fun - it’s later than you think.

Below is a quick catch-up of everything covered from the past week.
