thanks!

yeah, i was clueless about money until properly getting into btc in my almost mid 30s. i did try to ask some people in my 20s , but was never really around anyone who invested etc. 

as for testing etc, it doesn't so much take away fear of sudden death lol, it just gives me piece of mind knowing that my various key markers are in range, blood sugar, insulin, hormones etc

that way, when i see some stupid headline about 'you might be deficient in xyz', i have the results to show im not lol

Reflecting on a 4th decade

Many happy returns to you! 

I sympathize with your feelings. Death stalks the land of the middle-aged. It will probably get worse as we get older and find out what aging is really like. I am curious if your efforts in pursuing tests and imaging help to allay your fears at all.

Good advice about compounding. Somehow I couldn't get a good glimpse of it until got into my thirties.
