> Do experiences compound? Will I enjoy an experience more at 25 than 45? Maybe, and there's always some balance, of course. No one should work themselves to death.

There are experiences you may be incapable of considering later in life. Doing stupid, immature shit is fun and forms a person in many ways. Some errors are also better made earlier.

Yeah I mean I'm not advocating for some sort of monk-like isolation where you have No Fun and work 24/7. Just as I'm sure people aren't suggesting living a wild life where no consequences or future is considered.

I'm just saying that tipping the balance for a few years can be a really good tradeoff, and to counter the "deathbed" anecdote above.

I completely agree. Bones heal faster when you're young!
