What a lovely post. I really enjoyed learning more about your life and that I'm not alone in becoming really conscious about time.
How do you prepare
I'm not sure I know. My head seems to be unable to grasp the fact that I'm as old as I am despite my body reminding it on a regular basis.
When it comes to finances I'm not sure that any amount would ever be enough to feel secure. There are so many unknowns. I prefer the idea of continuing regular income.
For a while I was thinking I was going to get a nice little income from Splinterlands but the price of DEC and SPS has plummeted and now I no longer feel comfortable with that. It will be interesting to see where it bottoms out and maybe I can take that as my baseline. But then things are always changing in the game so it's even harder to predict than "normal" crypto.
I have a small amount of BTC and keep adding to that bit by bit, or rather satoshi by satoshi 😂, but how do I decide when is the right time to sell it and use it as income?
I've never been much of a long time planner and I don't see that changing. I'd rather spend my energy on enjoying what I have than worrying about the future. Life just simply isn't predictable and seems to have a way of working out. Easy to say but not so easy to live by as time ticks away. 😱
how do you help your loved ones and family to prepare?
For the most part I feel my family and loved ones are prepared. I bought up my kids to be independent and they seem to be doing a good job at finding their way in the world.
The big elephant in the room though is my crypto stuff. I have nothing documented in such a way that they would know what to do if I died or was incapable of managing it. That plays on my mind but, so far, not enough to make me do something about it.
I still need to get to grips with my taxes as well.
I have massive resistence to sorting out those two things and have already wasted days of my life going round in circles on both. Hoping next year will be the year I get I sorted.
Hoping next year will be the year we get to meet up in person again too. 💙
