Solving problems with money is more efficient in proportion to how much you value your mental effort resources for other stuff you enjoy more. If those activities pay on a leveraged way, the trade off is 100% worth it.

Why under 35? Because concentrating your mental resources on your comparative advantage creates a kind of high-drive exhausting raw energy positive feedback loop that I’ve only seen younger people handle well. And that loop is what creates the surplus to pay for other stuff.

The older you are the greater the financial surplus you need to achieve the same level of attention concentration on a core positive feedback loop. Money is a more achievable kind of leverage when you’re younger though you need it more badly when you’re older.

I’d need a million dollars today to achieve level of leverage I could have gotten with 100k in 2010. This is why for the average person, financial leverage drops with age. But we fixate on CEOs and entrepreneurs who buck that trend by making $-leverage faster than they are aging.

For financially average people like me, you fall behind on that game, and solving problems with money stops being an option, because you’re not efficient enough as a cost structure to achieve much with the surplus you have. So do it while you still can.

Counterintuitive but yes. That exec attention is more cdluable elsewhere when young and it’ll take a bigger, out-of-reach surplus to achieve similar reallocation efficiency when you’re older. Plus doing it when young installs stronger habits for later.https://twitter.com/_donny_dude/status/1212464168374358016?s=21 …

tldr get rich young if you can. It’s both easier and more valuable.

In your experience, does earning more generally correspond to having less free time or energy to pursue these tasks? Or is it the case that you need to sacrifice these goals short term so that you have more freedom in 5-10 years?

Having more money young changes your goals and who you are. It’s not a zero-sum tradeoff analysis. Your money history is as big a part of your growth story as health or relationships and way bigger than explicit philosophy. The only question is do you want to become that person.

Paying $10k for a trainer isn't any easier/more efficient than just going to the gym and doing the same stuff on your own. If anything, it probably takes even more of your time.

It’s not more efficienct in terms of time, it just require a lot less mental energy and headspace — you just turn up and do what they tell you — so from that point of view it’s more efficient (it’s also why I do crossfit)
