What a great post! You are exactly right on!

Thinking back ten years to the late November of 2015, I was with a completely different woman who was at the time my fiancé and I thought I would spend my life together with her, I was 39 and never sold a house at that point. I thought BTC was a scam :)

My son was about to start high school and had his first girlfriend who later decided to change her gender.

Since then so much has changed, I married a different woman, sold and bought a couple homes including the one where the picture below was taken. All the dishes on this table except wine glasses have gone to my ex-fiancé. Some people who sat on that table are no longer with us and others are simply out of my life.

And like you said we have to set new goals otherwise we quickly decline, unfortunately there is no way around getting older and we do pay for achieving our goals with our most valuable resource: time...
