The ticking clock hits different when your parents are aging but you're still grinding through the pre-rich phase. You're chasing that financial independence dream while time keeps moving. It's that gut-check moment—watching your folks get older and realizing you're still in the accumulation stage, not the freedom stage yet. That's the real trade-off nobody talks about in the crypto space.

To be honest, this pain point really hit me... When I was still in the accumulation stage, my parents were already counting down, and I really had no energy to complain.

Really, this hits hard... Still working hard for financial freedom, while parents are already on the decline.

This is life... Time really waits for no one. Watching my parents grow old while I'm still in the struggling accumulation phase is truly heartbreaking.
