Thanks for the encouragement. I am enjoying every minute of my current trading and investing activities. And I don't need to downgrade my lifestyle. I still live in my penthouse, drive my fully paid German car and my expenses are way below my annual household income.
I don't need to care people outstripping my wealth. There will always be people who will be richer than me but the fact is I am richer than 99% of the world's population. I'm happy with that, especially given the fact that I used to live in a 2 room flat, sharing with 5 siblings, parents and grand parents.
So, please stop being cynical.

You will find that many people will outstrip you in terms of wealth. As you age, you will see younger and younger people overtake you financially, while you keep looking for ways to cut down your expenses and think constantly about downgrading your home and lifestyle.
A life lived like a hermit just to save a few dollars is not meaningful
