Sure, I remember all of the times of my life, each has its charm. It’s all transient, and I mean ALL of it!
I have been on the rags to riches fence several times over. Nothing changes. One day you have the big house, the cars, the “stuff”, and all that changes is the space gets smaller, the “stuff” is not as grand as it once was, but YOU are exactly the same.
Do NOT get hung up on your ideas of “making it ” easy come, easy go. There is NO “making it”..stay humble, or you’re gonna fall really hard. I have friends now divorcing because their millions of dollars in assets and income has taken a nose dive in this economy. Once you’ve tasted humble pie it sets you straight, let me assure you!
Have fun with it, but don’t attach your entire identity to the big bucks, the higher you go the harder you fall, when you fall. Base your identity on your integrity, that’s all any of us take with us when the lights go out.
Words of wisdom from one who has been on both sides of every fence there is.
Stay humble.
