I was gifted a tenth of a bitcoin in 2013. I was annoyed at the giver for giving me such a stupid thing I couldn't use (HA!). I thought I had lost access to it because it went to an old email but I put in some effort and have recovered access.
This .1 thing my friend gave me for $30 as a joke is now worth almost 11k. I want to take my family on a vacation, but like, will I be sad with myself in 10 years? It feels to me like while it will grow that the growth that is coming will be less significant than the growth that happened, like we're not talking about $30-11k again we're talking about like, 11k to 15k? Which isn't nothing but is also not the same?
I dunno, should I cash out or hold?
I am a fairly frugal person and at 40 with a HHI of about 250k and three kids we have an 80k savings fund, 20k in my bank account and my husband and I have about 800k in our retirement funds and about 260k collectively in our kid's 529s.
So we're I think doing pretty good but we also aren't in a position where we drop 10k on a vacation ever. The responsible person in me says I should take the 10k and drop 3k into each kid's 529 instead but you gotta live a little?
