Know what massive wealth doesn't protect you from? Toothache.
Memento mori.
Memento mori.
Actually, it does if you spend some of it on a dentist.
Got into the eye doc today. Been putting it off for years. Paid cash. Feels good man!
I'm having a hard fucking time adjusting.
I'm planning on doing a little dental tourism myself in January. I've found a very highly recommended high-tech clinic in Mexico, near where I'm planning on buying some property with Bitcoin.
When I go for my assessment/estimate, I'll see if they'll accept payment in Bitcoin as well. I can get full implants for a small fraction of what I'd pay in Toronto.
With what I earned in Bitcoin this year, I think I owe myself a full set of Hollywood teeth. If I ever need repairs, I'll be able to stay at my own tropical retreat.
Yes, financial independence takes some getting used to and I'm trying to avoid becoming extravagant but health is perhaps our greatest treasure, with only friendship even close.
The secret is to be frugal in one's extravagance.
