Exactly.

I was shooting to have 1.5 million in investments, now I’m gonna need 2, which might be doable. But I’m also thinking that if it doubled before, it’s gonna double again, and 4 million invested is mathematically impossible for me to do, barring winning the lottery or making and selling a profitable company.

That’s why people are doing the bare minimum more often. If I’m never gonna get more than a week off of work every year for the rest of my natural life, what’s the motivation to do anything but the minimum.
