People tend to suddenly make zero effort when it seems like they “could do it anytime.”
They could become the healthiest version of themselves, but a few bad habits won’t hurt for now, they are actually doing pretty well for their age range.
They could become financially free a decade from now, but you only live once, and they feel the urge to spend their money on unnecessary vacation or products marketed as life-changing.
They could get married, have kids, build a meaningful life with people who matter, but they are never ready for that, and they probably still have time.
They could take the time to read books and cultivate an insightful and sharp mind, but it’s easier to stay mentally numb with constant noise and busyness, and they bought a bunch of books already, they could read them anytime, once they are less busy, which conveniently never happens.
Everyone should experience financial freedom once in their lives to understand that you will keep struggling to get things done even with time and money unless you literally stop thinking and stop living in your excuse-making mind, and start living a bit more mindfully and with much more self-respect for the time you were granted here.
