By I used to think grandiose proposals in the future were a bad thing. This idea of grandiose and the accompanying pride of ownership is the antithesis of my ideal. I never dreamed I would ever own a home that was so large that was an enormous investment for my future. But, I definitely see myself living in a place I am proud to call my own someday.
This is a very good thing, and it’s something that has been a goal of mine for a long time. At the same time, I do think this is a very grandiose proposal. I think the whole point of the game is to have fun and be silly, and this isn’t that. And it’s also not so different from the way some people feel about their big, expensive house. They get so excited to be in the place that they feel they are worth a fortune.
The problem is, people buy houses as investments. If you could have fun and be silly with your money, you would, and that is not the point of investing. But I can’t help but feel like this is a way of saying that you are a person who makes a lot of money. And that is not the point of investing. The point is, you can’t be in it forever. There is a finite amount of money that you can save and invest each month.
We all know the problem with this type of argument. People invest for the long term. When you buy a house you are buying a place in the future. If you want to be in the future, you have to be in the present. But that is not the same as saying that you are in the future. Even if you are in the future, you can’t really go back to the past.
So, yes, you can invest in the present, but you have to be in it for the long term. And most of our investment ideas don’t actually last forever. In fact, there is a ton of evidence that the amount of money we spend on things we don’t really need is actually less than the amount we save. When I was younger, I would have bought a new car every year if I knew I would never drive it for more than a year.
So, should you invest in the present or in the future? Of course you should.
The reason I said it was “in the past” is because our money is being saved, but we need to be spending anyway.
Many people look at the sky and say “I’ll never be rich.” But that’s because they don’t take the time to understand that our money is not ours to spend. Instead, they spend it on things that we need to spend it on.
I know, I know. I’m just being dramatic. But I’m sure you get the point. But I’m not really a big fan of investing in the future. Why buy a new car when you can buy a new car that is already built? Because then you’ll just be buying the same car because the manufacturer will make sure it runs and drives as well as it did when it came out.
The first thing I should mention is that I understand the situation. The biggest question is that “Why would the developer of the game need to make sure the game runs?” It’s like saying that the developer of a game should have known that the game isn’t going to run at all. And the developer of a game should have known that the game isn’t going to run at all.
