Thanks for your insight and for sharing your personal experience Che. It always helps to hear the other perspective to keep it real. As a younger person, there is definitely a cost. I don’t get to spend as much time hanging out with friends or engaging in leisurely activities.

But unfortunately, I think the cost is inevitable. It’s about whether you choose to sacrifice your now or later, no matter how old or young you are.

With that said, I do agree with what you said about keeping balance, as well as the potential toll your grind could have on those you care about, which no amount of money could ever make up for. I will keep these things in mind as I proceed with my 5-9.
