*Thread* - Enjoy life while figuring it out

"Don't date or have fun until your money is right"

is one of the worst takes on here
Even if you were sauced outta your mind on adderall

You'd maybe be able to put in 6-8 hours of quality work

Not drugged, you can expect 3-5 hours of highest quality output

Additional hours being more so administrative busy work
There are many highly negative side effects

That come with subscribing to the "be a hermit until money is sorted out" philosophy

First off, it puts WAY too much emphasis on money

Which actually makes it harder to make money
When things are a big deal inflated expectation is projected onto the thing

If you can't allow yourself to enjoy life until after money is 'figured out'

Massive expectation is placed on escaping out of the prison

Leading to hesitation, doubt, & perfectionism
Second, it ties so much self worth to money

Actions speak louder than words
93% of communication is non-verbal

In doing this it's a constant affirmation to yourself that you're not worthy of happiness without money
Third, other areas of your life become underdeveloped

Winning in one area but losing in others

Imagine escaping hermit mode after making some money

With no social circle, underdeveloped social skills, zero game, no hobbies, and nothing fun in life going on
In my experience it was MUCH easier to take action on business moves when winning in other areas of life

When money is not the only source of good emotions

When it's not a massive life changing big deal to make more money

You're less hesitant & just take action
For these reasons I think the whole "be a hermit until your rich" is one of the worst takes on here

There is of course times where "monk mode" or periods of isolation are beneficial to get ahead on something

There are times when more attention should go to finances

But...
Life doesn't need to be "totally figured out" to enjoy it

You can have fun while figuring it out

You can have fun while in pursuit of goals

Fun & income growth are not mutually exclusive

A honest questions to ask...
What has stunted income more? Fun or Fear?

For some people it might be fun

For many people 'fun' has been demonized by 'influencers' & it's really just fear holding back their progress

Thank you for reading,

Cheers

Added note - getting paid ain't going to get you laid

If you can't socialize, make friends, & date without money

Money will not save you

This is why a lot of influencers have a twisted view

They worked on their social/dating life AFTER making money & relying on money
