I only really started not living paycheck around 1 year ago, and started investing last year at 33.
I think generally being in a bad mood about the state of the world makes you not wanna care about that stuff.
But now I do, and I am doing my stuff, but I don't really have a budget, but have a spending pot for spending on whatever and I only buy necessities that are useful my life as I don't care for physical things.
Better to buy experiences with money
