rather the freedom to say "Fuck this" and walk away without losing sleep.
i get this entirely; makes sense and helps with staying sane.
my point on the wider "success criteria" for market activities is that it's hard or perhaps impossible to differentiate between skill and luck.
basic money management is 100% learnable though.
I'm all for paying dues while learning the skill of money management. Not saying that I belong in the "Fuck you" money category but rather the freedom to say "Fuck this" and walk away without losing sleep. It all started with staying out of debt and learning how to make more then I spend. Wealth game is preserving your net worth, anything short of that is gambling. It's like people who buy lottery tickets and say it's an investment with an expectation of winning it all back.
