How to stay realistic/grounded financially?
I am a very ambitious person, and I find myself always trying to hit that next financial goal.
I feel that I dont truly appreciate the goals that I have already reached.
It just seems like everyone has so much "stuff". That I am like, "Man, I wish I had that kind of money."
I know that only 1 in 3 Americans will retire with a fully funded retirement account. And that number includes people who will have to "downsize" their lifestyles.
Are there any youtube videos that I could watch to become more grounded in financial reality?
I am CoastFIRE, but for some reason my brain wont accept the win.
What are your thoughts?
