I knew a guy who missed every big rally.
Tech boom. Missed it.
Housing run. Missed it.
Crypto surge. Missed it.
But somehow, he never lost big money either.
When asked why, he said, “I’d rather miss a party than attend a funeral.”
Twenty years later, he wasn’t famous — but he was free. No debts. No regrets. No blown accounts.
Lesson: You don’t need to catch every upside. You only need to survive the downside.
Longevity is the real edge.
