I don’t feel too late to learn anything so far.
Stoicism. The philosophical ideas of how to live a purposeful and good life.
Being a good person is a weakness in capitalist civilizations.

I'm glad I know them now, because for the longest time, I thought I was in a fucked situation whenever my finances were tight.
