finally hit that 500k milestone last month and it feels surreal tbh 💀 been grinding as a PM for about 8 years now and the compound interest is really starting to show its magic. my partner and i are looking at maybe pulling back on some of our more aggressive savings once we hit 750k – thinking we might actually take that europe trip we’ve been putting off for like 3 years lmao. anyone else find themselves getting more comfortable with spending once you cross certain thresholds? feels weird after being so focused on maxing everything out for so long 😂
I wonder what retired people think of AI. I think working people would have a negative bias against AI due to the fear of being replaced.
I believe AI have a huge potential but it’s fairly rough around the edges right now. AGI is probably a decade away due to the limitations of LLM and it’s capabilities. But it still have a good potential to help multiply work efficiency.
