Caution to all, be careful of this to hobbyists

Pardon the indiscretion, but could you explain, for the benefit of the group, how does one sustain this rate of activity, both from a stamina and wallet perspective?
Stamina-wise i guess it's just from taking care of ones self, gym a few times a week, eating healthy. Also having a sex addiction helps.
for the wallet perspective, i am in my early 40's & have been semi retired since 2023 due mainly to investments i made shortly before covid. My main expertise in life allowed me to see something was happening to shipping routes & trade supply routes prior to covid ever touching ground in north america. I remember telling the people at the firm i worked for at that time that this virus will take north america by storm and we may not be allowed to leave our homes, then suggesting a shorth list of lesser known or coveted companies that we should hedge into and also how other assets under management should be trimmed by precaution.
They had a really great time chuckling at my expense, going so far as to say i was losing my edge and they will start bringing in an external analyst to do my work instead of me.
Fast forward 11 to 17 months later and everything on my short list had record breaking growth yields & performance, everything the firm was invested in was in a death spiral, and 100% of every employee was not only working from home but not even allowed to leave their homes.
Shipping routes were diverted, ports were backed up in china, trade supply routes shifted, production shifted out of china for a bit & many of the unknown producers & suppliers were now flooded with demand.
Everything changed.
I took my savings before covid ever touched ground in north america and while i warned everyone & suggested they react accordingly financially. People may have laughed at my expense & also laughed at my suggestion, but i always trust my research and i reacted accordingly based off my presumptions.
To put it in a nutshell.
And then i took a long leave of absence, then my job went from 5 to 6 days a week to just writing quarterly reports & doing nothing in between.
As much as some would fantasize having the resources to have sex like this daily, does it reduce the value of it? Is it all SW or you meet civilians in there too?
When i am commited i am very faithful & do not hobby. I had several multi year breaks from hobbying over the years & multi month breaks from hobbying particularly over the last 2 years. So yes i do meet civillians and fall in love, i have not become a sex crazed robot.
I dont think it reduces the value of it. I view it as being surrounded with majoritarily junk food & fast food restaurants. Once you find a great meal that stands out you actually appreciate it more & then go there more often. When i find the rarer type of gem, i quickly become a regular & do not feel the need to explore or look for other gems.
Totally agree. I find its way better when you build up a connection over multiple encounters.
