> all the time you spent improving yourself and building wealth will be for naught, at least for you
There’s meaning in that work if you accept that it’ll have lasting effects beyond you.
> It means you'll never be 18 or 23 or 30 or 35 again. The youth that you took for granted is gone forever and time will march with you until your death
Your youth was taken for granted if you don’t think it added up to you being able to provide for a family.
I’m just trying to find meaning in the mundane, not trying to preach. This view that being alive and healthy and able to raise a family isn’t enough is always disheartening.

Read what I said, "it will all be for naught, at least for you." Meaning all that time spent learning things and gaining knowledge and wealth won't matter for you because you'll be 6 feet under. It's along the lines of Jobs' quote, "you'll be the richest man in the cemetery." He was 56 when he died, how many years until you are 56? Probably not as many as you'd like.

I dunno where you got that from what I said. It's enough, it's great, it will be all over real soon because of the march of time. It's all for naught because we'll be worm food.
You completely misinterpreted what I said, you pretty much came up with the opposite.

Anyways, that’s my interpretatio. Or projection.
