Notes -
I’m a similar age with a similar balance. About a year ago, I had a similar realization to you— my future is extremely secure and maximizing my expected lifetime satisfaction would likely involve hedging against risks against my ability to enjoy it over the next 50 years. Societal collapse, health issues, AI, whatever.
I invested a lot in my health. I got myself a much nicer place and have hosted fun dinners and parties for friends at no cost to them. I got a very nice used car (high 5-figs) about a year ago and have enjoyed every minute of driving it. I’ll probably sell it in a few years at a slight profit. I have lightweight prep (food, water, ammo). My accounts continue to grow rapidly. I have no regrets.
